Valencia CF has set a surprising yet ambitious goal to strengthen its offensive line for the new season: Jamie Vardy. The English striker, an icon of Leicester City, is out of contract this summer and will not continue with the club where he forged his legend in the Premier League. At 38 years old, Vardy is ready for a new chapter in his career, and the Che team wants to be the one to welcome him to LaLiga.
The British forward has just completed a historic cycle with the Foxes, reaching 200 goals in 500 matches, just as Leicester confirmed their relegation to the Championship. Despite the sporting blow, Vardy has left his mark with a last campaign in which he scored 10 goals and provided 4 assists, demonstrating that he still possesses the intuition that characterized him for over a decade at the top level.
Carlos Corberán wants Vardy
Carlos Corberán, Valencia's coach, is familiar with the veteran attacker from his time at West Bromwich Albion and now hopes to have him as an ally at Mestalla. For the Valencian club, with financial constraints affecting their market movements, the opportunity to sign an experienced and effective striker like Vardy for free represents a hard-to-ignore chance.
The question remains whether the player will prioritize continuing to compete in Europe or will opt for financially more appealing destinations like Saudi Arabia or the MLS. In any case, Valencia has already taken a stand and is betting on a player profile that, while not guaranteeing extraordinary figures, could contribute between eight and ten goals per season and considerable leadership.
The final decision will be in Vardy's hands. But at Mestalla, they are already awaiting him with open arms.
