Jamie Vardy’s future remains up in the air as the veteran striker considers one last short-term deal, with reports suggesting he is seeking a wage package in the region of £25,000 to £35,000 per week.
The 38-year-old, who became a Leicester City legend after firing them to the Premier League title in 2016, is weighing up his options as his current deal runs down. Despite his age, Vardy has shown flashes of his trademark sharpness, scoring key goals and proving he can still make an impact at the highest level.
Now, the question is whether clubs — particularly Leicester, who are preparing for another demanding season — would be willing to take him back on such terms.
Vardy’s leadership, dressing-room presence and wealth of experience could be invaluable, especially for younger forwards coming through the ranks. At the same time, his wage demands raise a debate: is the cost justified for a player who, while still dangerous in moments, may no longer feature consistently across a full season?
Fans are split. Many argue his return would provide a morale boost and keep a club legend around for one more chapter, while others believe the money would be better invested in fresh legs.
Whatever decision is made, one thing is certain — Jamie Vardy has already cemented his place in English football folklore. The possibility of one final short-term stint, however, ensures his story isn’t quite finished just yet.
Would you bring him back for another season on £25-35k per week?
