Argentina midfielder Esteban Cambiasso has rejected the latest contract offer from Premier League side Leicester City. The 34-year-old midfielder signed a one-year contract with the Foxes last summer and that deal has expired in June. New boss Claudio Ranieri has spoken with the player about a new contract and even asked him to "please come back".
The former Inter Milan and Real Madrid midfielder said in a statement: "I have decided not to renew my contract with Leicester City. 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."
Cambiasso made 33 appearances in all competitions last season for Leicester City, scoring five goals. The Foxes pulled off an amazing surge in the last part of the season, winning seven of their last ten games to secure their presence in the Premier League. "I have lived one of the most important years of my career," Cambiasso added.
Leicester City are 1.28 at Bet365 to avoid relegation from the Premier League next season.

He is very good player, if you ask me, maybe not one of the best and not a "world-class" player, but he achieved many things in his football career and also won many trophies. He has 34 years and I think that the main reason that he rejected offer from Leicester is that he have not enough strength to play at that high level...

This is a good decision for Cambiasso. He had a fantastic season with Leicester City, they managed to stay in Premier League. Cambiasso played some great matches and now it's time for him to move on. I hope that new Cambiasso club will be from MLS. That will be great way to finish a great carrer.

Cambiasso had a successful season with the Foxes and was one of theirs most influential players on the field. That's why his decision it's a bit strange to me. But in the statement he didn't mention any particular reason so it's could be anything. I guess the reason is not on the field but out of it, there was change...

I guess the reason is not on the field but out of it, there was change in the manager position in the team so this could also influenced his decision.
