Leicester City's legendary striker Jamie Vardy moves to Italy.

The BBC reported on the 31st (Korea time) "Jamie Vardy is scheduled to move to Italy to complete the transfer of Italian Serie A club Cremonese".

Vardy, who is 38 this year, is expected to sign a one-year contract and will reportedly include an option to extend his contract for another year if Cremonese avoids relegation.




"England international striker Vardy heads to Italy on Sunday and is scheduled to complete a medical test on Monday," the media said. "Despite reports of competition with Dutch club Feyenoord, Cremonese is confident he will be able to sign Vardy."

Vardy, who joined Leicester City in 2012, has been independent since his contract with Leicester City expired in June this year. He is considered one of the greatest players in Leicester City's history, leading the 2015-2016 Premier League championship.

Vardy scored 200 goals and 71 assists in 500 matches for Leicester City, and also won the FA Cup in 2021. He also scored seven goals in 26 appearances for England.




After joining Serie A this summer, Cremonese won both of the league's opening matches against Sasuolo and AC Milan. Expectations are high on whether Cremonese will be able to become competitive in Serie A by recruiting Vardy.
