Tianjin Quanjian, Hebei China Fortune and Shandong Luneng Taishan were all in for the former England forward.
But it is believed negotiations have hit a brick wall and the struggling striker will now have to remain with West Ham.
The Chinese Super League transfer deadline is on Tuesday and although Hammers are still keen for the move to happen, they fear they have left it too late to get him out.

Carroll, 28, has been a disaster since he moved to the Londoners from Liverpool in 2013.
In nearly four years with the club he has failed to complete a full season.
West Ham are desperate to get rid of the forward and co-chairman David Sullivan also made it clear after a board meeting that he could leave for China.
Carroll has been plagued by injury throughout his career, which has included Newcastle as well as Liverpool and West Ham.
