Jamie Vardy to La Liga?! Spanish giants eye swoop to land free agent after Leicester exit amid Rangers and Wrexham links

Leicester City FC v Ipswich Town FC - Premier League

Jamie Vardy’s next chapter could unfold in Spain, with reports suggesting that La Liga side Valencia are weighing up a move for the former Leicester City talisman. The 37-year-old, who brought an end to his 13-year spell at the King Power Stadium this summer, has attracted interest from several clubs across Europe, including Rangers and Wrexham.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to GIVEMESPORT, Carlos Corberan, currently managing the Spanish outfit, is keen to explore the possibility of bringing the experienced forward to the Mestalla. While he doesn’t envision Vardy as a regular starter, he believes the striker’s instinctive eye for goal could still make a difference from the bench. The manager is reportedly in discussions with Valencia’s technical director about how Vardy might fit into their plans and whether the club can stretch their budget to accommodate his wage demands.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Scottish giants Rangers have also been linked with Vardy, and while manager Russell Martin hasn’t confirmed formal interest, he hasn’t dismissed the possibility either. Instead, he has acknowledged the rumours when asked and left the door open for a potential deal, should the right circumstances arise.

DID YOU KNOW?

Elsewhere, League One champions Wrexham, now preparing for life in the Championship, have also expressed interest. The club’s Hollywood-backed project has seen them target experienced players from higher divisions, and Vardy is reportedly on their radar as manager Phil Parkinson looks to bolster his attack for a more competitive league campaign.

WHAT NEXT?

Vardy, who turns 39 in January, remains confident in his ability to deliver. Regardless of where he lands, the next move for Vardy could be the final act of his remarkable career. With the 2024/25 season around the corner and most clubs returning to pre-season training, the veteran forward must stay in peak physical condition if he is to secure one last contract.
