Jamie Vardy Joins Cremonese

Jamie Vardy is joining Cremonese in Italy. He signed a contract until June 2026, with an option for an extra year if Cremonese stays in Serie A. According to reports, Vardy is close to joining Serie A newcomers Cremonese.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Vardy left Leicester City at the end of last season and will now play in Italy. Cremonese, a team newly promoted to Serie A, has signed him. Vardy will travel to Milan to complete his medical and sign his contract. The 38-year-old chose Cremonese despite interest from clubs in England and abroad.

This is his first time playing outside English football. He became famous with Leicester City and won the Premier League title in 2016. Vardy’s experience and goal-scoring ability will benefit Cremonese, who started the Serie A campaign strong with surprising wins over Sassuolo and AC Milan and sit at the top of the table.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CREMONESE AND VARDY

Cremonese had a strong start to the Serie A season, winning both their matches against AC Milan and Sassuolo. They are currently second in the league, tied with giants Napoli and Roma. Vardy joins the team with hopes of helping them avoid relegation and stay in Italy’s top division. The club, which finished the last season in second place in Serie B, aims to become a top team in Italy. Vardy scored 200 goals in his 13 years with Leicester and had 7 goals in 26 games for England. His experience and leadership could give Cremonese confidence as they face the challenges of Serie A.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR CREMONESE?

Cremonese’s next match is against Hellas Verona, a mid-table team. Every point matters as the top of the table is very close in the early season. Cremonese must also watch out for challengers like Juventus and Inter below them.

Vardy is expected to join his new teammates quickly and could make his debut soon if his paperwork is completed in time. If Vardy joins, he may debut in their next match against Hellas Verona. With tough matches ahead, Vardy’s impact could be important in helping Cremonese stay in Serie A.
