Le Havre president Jean Pierre Louvel has dismissed the prospect of Adriano joining the French club.
The former Brazil international was said to be close to agree a deal to join the Stade Oceane side, but Louvel has revealed that the move is not financially viable for the club.
He said: ‘Adriano will not be employed by the present leadership of the club in January [when the transfer window opens]. That will not happen because our budget does not allow hiring [a player] like this.
