Vardy in talks to sign for Serie A outfit Cremonese: source
Jamie Vardy is in talks for a potential move to Serie A team Cremonese, a source at the promoted club confirmed to AFP on Friday.
The source told AFP that the negotiations are in the early stages after initial contact was made with veteran Vardy, a Premier League winner with Leicester City, earlier in the week.
Vardy left Leicester after 13 years at the end of last season, bringing down the curtain on a relationship which created one of the most romantic stories in recent football history.
The 38-year-old signed for Leicester from non-league club Fleetwood town while in his mid-20s, having previously combined playing with a job as a factory worker.
He quickly made an impact in England's second-tier Championship, which he helped Leicester win in 2014 before becoming the goalscoring hero in their stunning Premier League triumph two years later.
During that title-winning season he broke a record previously set by Manchester United icon Ruud van Nistelrooy by scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League matches, and he won the Golden Boot for top scorer in the 2019-20 campaign.
Vardy, who netted 200 times in 500 Leicester appearances, also won the FA Cup in 2021 and earned 26 England caps, scoring seven times for his country.
Cremonese face Sassuolo in their second match of the new Serie A season on Friday. They beat AC Milan at the San Siro for the first time last weekend.
