Cardiff City chairman Mehmet Dalman has confirmed that Premier League new boys Leicester City have activated a release clause in Fraizer Campbell's contract.
Earlier today, it was reported that the Foxes had triggered the 26-year-old's buyout clause in South Wales.
Although admitting that Cardiff are powerless to prevent Campbell from leaving, Dalman is hopeful that the striker will snub a move back to the top flight in favour of remaining with the Bluebirds.
"Leicester City have made an offer which triggers a release clause in Fraizer's contract," Dalman told Wales Online.
"We don't want to sell him and would love him to stay but we had no choice because of the clause. We have to allow Fraizer to make his own decision but hopefully he can stay."
The former Manchester United youth has two years remaining on his Cardiff contract.
