AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca has turned down a move to the Chinese Super League.
The Colombian has scored 26 Serie A goals since joining Milan from Sevilla in July 2015, but reports this week said he was poised to sign for Tianjin Quanjian before the Chinese transfer window closes.
Despite the temptation of a rumoured 12million euro annual wage, Bacca, 30, is staying at San Siro.
He told Milan TV on Thursday: "I'm happy to be here and I feel like I'm part of the project.
"How could I say no to so much money? Easily, I used my head.
"My family and I are very comfortable here. On the first day that (Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani called me, I never thought twice about accepting. And today, I'm still happy."
Tianjin Quanjian, who are coached by World Cup-winning defender Fabio Cannavaro, boast Brazilian forward Alexandre Pato and Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel as titled internationals in their squad.
Former defender Cannavaro has reportedly been keen to bring Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney to Tianjin, but it is understood the England international is unlikely to go anywhere this month.
