French national captain Thierry Dusautoir has extended his contract with Top 14 club Toulouse for a further two seasons, he announced on Monday.
Flank Dusautoir had been targeted by a number of Top 14 clubs and Leicester chief executive Simon Cohen revealed last week they had talked with him about a move to the Premiership.
Dusautoir, 33, said on his Facebook page and Twitter account: "I am very happy to be a Toulouse player for the next two seasons! Thank you to the supporters and management for their confidence!"
Meanwhile, Argentine lock Patricio Albacete has also signed a new contract tying him to Toulouse until June 2017, the club announced.
Capped 70 times by France, Dusautoir joined Toulouse in 2006 from Biarritz after spells with Bordeaux-Begles and Colomiers, and has won three French titles and one European Cup in the club's colours.
He has captained the national side since 2009 and during last year's tour of Australia surpassed Fabien Pelous' record of captaining France on 42 occasions. He has now led the side out 46 times.
Albacete, also 33, has played 57 times for Argentina.
