Leonardo Ulloa has told SSNHQ he will remain professional at Leicester and won't go on strike despite being distraught at failing to move on Deadline Day.
The 30-year-old Argentine turned up for training on Wednesday lunchtime a day after hearing about his club rejecting a third and final bid of £7.5m plus add-ons from Sunderland.
David Moyes' final offer came six hours before the window closed, but Ulloa's employers stood firm - it is understood that they were determined not to sell to a Premier League rival.
Manager Claudio Ranieri had insisted repeatedly in public that he wanted to keep the striker, suggesting Ulloa was still a key part of his plans, despite rarely playing him this season.
After last night's defeat to Burnley, Leicester are just two points above the Premier League relegation places.
As Ulloa's relationship with the club became increasingly acrimonious, the former Brighton forward handed in a transfer request and then told SSNHQ exclusively on Monday that Ranieri had broken a promise he could leave if an offer came in for £5m or more. He felt "betrayed" and said he'd never play for Leicester again.
It remains unclear whether Ulloa will apologise to Ranieri, or to Leicester for his comments, but it's very clear he stands by what he said.
He will report for training every day, and he will continue to honour his contractual obligations as he looks to recover from the thigh injury which has left him unavailable for selection for the last three weeks.
Whether he is in a fit emotional state to be selected for matches is something Ranieri will have to decide.
Ulloa has started just one Premier League match this season and, at the age of 30, is desperate to move to a club where he is likely to get more first-team football.
But he has 18 months left on his Foxes contract and will not be able to move until July 1 at the earliest when the next transfer window opens.
