Manchester City striker Emile Mpenza has turned down the chance of first-team action elsewhere to stay at Eastlands.
Belgium international Mpenza, 29, was wanted on loan by a number of Championship clubs for the last few weeks of the season.
Mpenza has started just eight of his 14 Barclays Premier League appearances this season, scoring twice, and Leicester were one of the clubs apparently keen to offer him more time on the field.
"There is nothing there for this moment," said City manager Sven-Goran Eriksson.
"He has had a lot of requests but so far he wants to stay. He is under contract, so it is very much up to him if he wants to stay and fight."
