Leicester City are in the mix to sign experienced Argentine midfielder Esteban Cambiasso, the Mercury understands.
The 33-year-old former Inter Milan and Real Madrid is a free agent and City are understood to be among a host of clubs trying to secure the services of Cambiasso, who has been capped more than 50 times by Argentina.
Unconfirmed reports suggest City have offered the defensive midfielder a two-year contract.
Cambiasso is the most decorated Argentinian player ever with more than 20 official titles, more than the legendary Real Madrid star Alfredo Di Stefano.
City boss Nigel Pearson has stated this summer that he wouldn't rule out making a marquee signing and Cambiasso would certainly fit the bill.
