Brazilian striker Afonso Alves was presumed to have signed for AZ for a record £12million a week ago - but reneged on his agreement, according to the Dutch Eredivisie club.
English Premier League clubs Middlesbrough and Manchester City have both been linked with Alves, but the Brazilian's immediate future will now be decided with the help of arbitration.
"We are not signing his release, because we believe there's no binding contract between AZ and Alves", said Heerenveen chairman Yme Kuiper.
"Alves signed a document that required a written consent by sc Heerenveen given before the January 5 deadline. Since this consent never was given, the contract is void," added Kuiper.
