Transfer-listed Crewe Alexandra striker Luke Rodgers has rejected the chance to move to an unnamed League Two club.
Alex boss Dario Gradi had accepted a bid of £30,000 for the former Shrewsbury Town forward who has struggled to impress at Gresty Road.
"Luke rejected the move out of hand and that's fine," Gradi told Alex's official website.
"I'm in no particular rush to get rid of him, he's simply available for transfer because he wants to play more regularly.
"That's fine and I understand his feelings which is why I've agreed to let him go.
"But to be honest he's still improving all the time in training and has had a very good week this week. I'd be happy for him to stay because he's still of use to me."
The 24-year-old has scored nine goals in 38 appearances for Crewe following his transfer from Shrewsbury 18 months ago.
