- Veteran frontman left ليستر as free agent
- Linking up with الدوري الإيطالي newcomers
- Supporters delighted with deal for إنجلترا نجم
At 38 years of age, Vardy is preparing to take on a new challenge and prolong his remarkable career. The veteran striker became a free agent after reaching the end of his contract at Leicester.
It was suggested at one stage that Vardy was registering on the recruitment radar of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at ريكسهام – with the Red Dragons making a point of adding الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز pedigree to their ranks.
No deal was done there, with Vardy keeping his options open. He is now stepping out of his comfort zone and over to Serie A – where Cremonese have made a faultless start to the 2025-26 campaign with six points from two games.
They were only promoted through the الدوري الإيطالي الدرجة الثانية play-offs last season, with Vardy becoming a notable addition to their squad. Supporters in Lombardy are delighted to have the ex-Three Lions frontman on board – with many giving him a wild late night reception.
Kyle Walker endured a testing loan spell at ميلان in the 2024-25 campaign – alongside ex-تشيلسي midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek – while Dele Alli has been deemed surplus to requirements at كومو. Vardy will be hoping to fare better in Italian football than his fellow England internationals.
