AS Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim has turned down an offer to take on Daniel Sturridge.
The former Liverpool striker is a free agent after being allowed to come off contract last month.
And Monaco chiefs have offered Sturridge to Jardim in the event they sell Radamel Falcao.
But RMC says Jardim doesn't want the 29 year-old.
Sturridge's minders are this week in talks with Trabzonspor.
