Kuqi has played for six clubs in England since joining Stockport in 2001
Crystal Palace striker Shefki Kuqi has rejected the chance to stay at Selhurst Park next season on a reduced contract.
The Kosovo-born Finland international, 32, had been offered new terms after forcing his way back into the team.
Manager Neil Warnock told BBC London 94.9: "I asked if he'd take a drop in wages and sign for another 18 months but he doesn't really want to do that."
Kuqi joined the Eagles in August 2006 in a �2.5m deal from Blackburn but has managed just 14 goals since.
He struggled in his first season at the club under Peter Taylor, who saw the forward as a replacement for Andy Johnson who joined Everton the same year.
Kuqi was loaned to Fulham on transfer deadline day in August 2007 but, having failed to score in his three months at Craven Cottage, returned to Palace only to fall out with Warnock after being substituted in the 2-0 defeat by Wolves in February last year.
Warnock immediately sent Kuqi on loan to Ipswich for the rest of the season but, having failed to agree a permanent move to Portman Road, he was brought back into the side in September last year.
Kuqi's six goals this season had convinced Warnock to offer him a new deal, but the striker turned it down when told it would have to be on less money than he had previously been paid.
It is not known whether that offer has now been withdrawn.
Meanwhile, Eagles goalkeeper David Wilkinson has joined Blue Square South side Welling United until the end of the season.
