Ron Vlaar has revealed that his proposed transfer to Premier League side Aston Villa is "off".
The Dutch international appeared to be heading for Villa Park following a series of talks with manager Paul Lambert last week.
However, the 27-year-old has now confirmed that he expects to continue his career with Feyenoord.
"Feyenoord is in my heart and I have been through a lot here," Vlaar told RTV Rijnmond. "I think the chance I will move to Aston Villa is not so big anymore.
"I don't want to be kept on a leash, so a transfer is off for now."
Vlaar joined Feyenoord in 2006 from AZ.
