Argentina midfielder Esteban Cambiasso has rejected an offer to stay with Leicester. The 34-year-old joined the Foxes last summer on a one-year deal, which expired last month. New manager Claudio Ranieri said he had spoken with Cambiasso – the club’s player of the year last term – about a new deal and urged him to “please come back”. But the former Inter Milan and Real Madrid player said in a statement: “I have decided not to renew my contract with Leicester. I have taken this decision only 24 hours after receiving the proposal from Leicester because I want to give the club as much time as possible to find an alternative.”
