French side AS Monaco have conceded that, due to the tight financial situation at the club, a bid for Chelsea-owned striker Andriy Shevchenko is out of the question.
"It has never been a topic," coach Guy Lacombe told Aujourd'hui Sport.
"Shevchenko is not a possibility for us. For a club like ours, it is impossible."
Monaco had been touted as the team leading the chase for Shevchenko's services, but it now seems that Roma are at the head of the pack, despite the striker's poor performances in the Serie A with Milan.
The Rossoneri themselves have ruled out signing the 32-year-old on a permanent basis, owing to Shevchenko's lack of goals at the San Siro last season.
However, with Monaco out of the running, it would appear that, if there is any substance to his link with Roma, he may be playing in the Italian top-tier again next season.
