Vardy, who is from England, made a surprise transfer to Cremonese of Serie A in Italy on the 2nd (Korea time), the deadline for the summer transfer market in the 2025-2026 season. The contract period is one year, and an extension option is included.
Vardy is a mythical figure. Starting in the eighth division, he moved to Leicester City in the Championship (second division) for a transfer fee of 1 million pounds (about 1.9 billion won) from Fleetwood Town in the fifth division in 2012.
He has been with Leicester City for 13 years. In the 2015-2016 season, he scored 24 goals in 36 EPL games, leading him to a miracle victory. After winning the EPL Golden Boot (scoring king) in the 2019-2020 season, he led the FA Cup to the top in the 2020-2021 season.
Leicester City was relegated to the Championship after nine seasons in the 2023-2024 season. In the 2024-2025 season, he was promoted for the first time in one season, but was demoted again. Vardy eventually chose to part ways, too. He played in as many as 500 matches for Leicester City, scoring 200 goals and 71 assists.

Cremonese is looking forward to Body's experience and determination. Vardy is dreaming of making his debut in the third round of Serie A in the 2025-2026 season against Verona on the 16th.
England's 'BBC' expressed Vardy's determination to play in Serie A for the first time on the 11th. Serie A became a competition venue for veterans this summer as Kevin De Bruyne (34, Napoli) and Luka Modric (40, AC Milan) built their nests.
Asked if he was still motivated to play at the highest level, he replied "You're probably one of the doubters. After pointing out that you are the one who should prove me wrong "Age to me is just a number. We plan to continue our journey as long as our feet remain healthy and fresh.' And there is no reason to slow down the team's rise. I will continue to work, and I will do my best for this club."
It's Vardy's first overseas life ahead of the bullseye. He will learn Italian, but it doesn't matter. Football has its own language to do with the ball."
Cremonese's biggest goal is to remain in the first part. Vardy also "The most important challenge is to remain in the first part. It was the same when I was at Leicester. It never occurred to me that 'we're going to make this work'. I always thought 'I should stay in the league. That was the most important thing"And yet "All we do is go out and focus on every game, and do everything in our power. Then, we don't know what will happen in the future."
