A statement on the club's official website revealed: "Last Saturday the FIFA agent Pini Zahavi, with a letter of representation issued by Everton FC, visited the headquarters of the society to reveal the intention of the English club to offer 15million euros for the acquisition of the sporting rights of the player Joao Moutinho, with the figure eventually increasing by an amount not yet determined if Everton FC qualify for the Champions League.

"The proposal was rejected outright, having told Mr Pini Zahavi, who acted in the dual capacity as representative of the player and Everton FC, that it was not the intention of Sporting to transfer the player."

Sporting also underlined the fact that Moutinho's contract "was substantially improved last year" and contains a 25million euro release clause which can only be exercised every summer before June 15.

The statement concluded by emphasising that as far as Sporting are concerned, Moutinho will remain at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

"Finally, (Sporting) reveals that the personal reasons that the player pleads to be transferred are completely unrelated to Sporting and the working relationship it maintains with the player and, as such, it cannot justify in any way an act of management that does not adequately defend the interests of the company and its shareholders."

Moutinho was earlier hopeful the deal would go through. He told O Jogo: "Everton already made a proposal, but Sporting did not accept it.

"We will now see what it happens in the next few days, but Sporting already knows my will, I have already transmitted it to the people.

"What is my will? With the reasons that I have, I want to leave Sporting.

"I hope that an agreement can be found and that a good solution arrives for both parties."

I know. The point was, we tried and it was rejected.

Some have suggested we never really bid. We did and it was rejected.

With the prospect of him going to Porto/Benfica - Sporting fans are probably wishing they'd had accepted our bid.
