Manchester City last month failed with multiple bids for the 27-year-old, who arrived at Ewood Park in 2007.[LNB]"I felt I had needed to give back the club everything they gave me with more effort by playing another season," the former Olimpia and Bayern Munich forward told Fox Sports en Latinoamerica.[LNB]"Being threatened by relegation stopped me moving."[LNB]However, the Paraguay international feels his time at Blackburn is coming to an end.[LNB]He said: "My task at Blackburn is done, (the board) knew how I was thinking when I arrived to the club.[LNB]"I came here for continuity, to get up to pace again and I did pretty quickly. My intention was always to get in shape and then move to a big club.[LNB]"The transfer window put me in touch with people very interested in having me and of course I'm seduced by the idea of playing at very big club again.[LNB]"The Blackburn board are aware of that and accept it, but then we were in the relegation places and playing in the top flight is priceless for them. I understand that."[LNB][LNB] Prem W/out Top 4 2008/09 Win Outright: Blackburn 50/1[LNB]
