Vasco da Gama defender Dede has ruled out a move to the Premier League at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old had been linked with both Manchester United and Liverpool in recent weeks, but the Brazilian has revealed that he is not yet ready to leave his home nation.
"I am not ready to leave. When I am, I will say. Right now, I have to enjoy what is happening to me at Vasco. It is too soon to leave," Dede told Lancenet.
"Brazilian football is making me grow, I feel ready to represent the Selecao (Brazilian national team) in a good way without having to leave the country."
Dede is under contract until December 2014.
