Hurriyet claim Leicester City loanee Islam Slimani has decided to stay at Fenerbahce and has rejected the offers from Real Betis and Cardiff City.

Following his decision, Fenerbahce manager Ersun Yanal has warned the Algerian striker he will not play him until the end of the season if he insists on staying.

According to Hurriyet, Slimani’s representatives have told the interested clubs it’s very unlikely the Leicester City player will leave Fenerbahce before the transfer deadline.

According to the Turkish newspaper, Super Lig leaders Basaksehir are also showing an interest to sign the player but this now looks unlikely because Fenerbahce are unsure about taking Emmanuel Adebayor in a swap deal.

As things stand, it’s unlikely that Slimani will play for Fenerbahce again this season following a poor run of form since arriving in the last transfer window.

The Leicester City player has scored just one goal in fourteen league appearances and the Istanbul club have been trying to offload him throughout this transfer window.
