Jamie Vardy Nearing Cremonese Move as Talks Intensify

Jamie Vardy is close to joining Serie A newcomers Cremonese. A better contract offer is on the table for the former Leicester City star.

THE CREMONESE DEAL

Cremonese is trying to sign Jamie Vardy. He left Leicester City this summer and is now a free agent. The 38-year-old striker, famous for helping Leicester win the 2016 Premier League title, has agreed to personal terms. Only contract details need to be finalized. Reports say Vardy is thinking about the offer with his family. Cremonese believes his experience and leadership will help their team after their promotion to Serie A.

IMPORTANCE OF THE MOVE

Vardy was key for Leicester in 2024-25, playing 36 matches in all competitions and scoring nine goals. Despite Leicester’s struggles, his experience and work rate remained important. Cremonese, newly back in Serie A, finished the last season in second place in Serie B and now face a stronger battle at the highest level. The team’s squad has fewer top-flight veterans, so signing Vardy can be valuable. This move also shows Cremonese’s ambition to avoid relegation and fight bigger clubs.

WHAT NEXT?

If Vardy joins Cremonese, he could debut in their next home match against another newly promoted in Sassuolo for the Serie A. Cremonese won their opener at AC Milan, while Sassuolo lost at Napoli against the current champions. With Vardy’s signing, Cremonese could have better chances to score important goals. The club hopes he could inspire the team and help them climb the table with tighter gaps between them and clubs both above and below. Now all eyes are on Vardy’s final decision in the coming days.
