Leicester City have rejected a £1.7m transfer bid from La Liga side Alaves for striker Leonardo Ulloa, according to Sky sources.
Ulloa handed in a transfer request last week, to try to force a move away from the King Power Stadium but the club feel the bid is way below what the 30-year-old is worth.
Ulloa has made just one Premier League start this season, after making 29 appearances in Leicester's title-winning campaign.
But the Argentinian has 18 months left on his contract, and Leicester turned down a bid of £9m for him from Swansea in the summer.
Claudio Ranieri has said repeatedly he wants Ulloa to stay at the club, though he is currently unavailable because of a thigh injury.
Relations between the club and player are becoming increasingly hostile, with Ulloa's representatives branding Ranieri "a liar" and accusing him of going back on promises of a new contract he made in the summer.
