PSV Eindhoven fear being priced out of a move to FC Twente winger Eljero Elia.
Elia has attracted big Premiership interest from the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City.
PSV technical manager Adrie van Kraaij said: "We think Elia is a very interesting player, but we think that he will already be too expensive.
"The chance that we will succeed (in signing him) is zero, I suppose."
Elia, 22, who has also attracted the interest of Ajax, recently signed a new deal until 2012, but has already stated his intention to leave the club in the summer.
