Jamie Vardy, a 39-year-old English forward, is being considered as one of the options by Everton's transfer market to strengthen their attack after the failed operation for Folarin Balogun on the last day of the market. The player has been a free agent since June 30, when his contract with Cremonese expired, and his desire is to return to England with his family.

Jamie Vardy back on the Premier League radar

Everton is considering the addition of Vardy after closing the market with only one recognized offensive reference, Thierno Barry. This situation occurred after Beto's departure to Fiorentina and Iliman Ndiaye's move to Manchester City.

Balogun was the priority, but the £40 million deal with Monaco broke down on September 1. The American forward underwent a medical, doubts arose about his physical condition, and despite both clubs renegotiating terms, the player decided not to complete the move.

With the Premier League market closed, Everton needs to turn to free agents to add a forward. Vardy fits this route as his contract with Cremonese ended on June 30, 2026, and he is currently not affiliated with any club.

Cremonese stint keeps the door open to Everton

Vardy ended his single season in Italy with 7 goals in 29 Serie A matches, along with 2 assists. Cremonese was relegated, and the forward left the club at the end of his contract.

The striker arrived at Cremonese in September 2025 as a free agent after concluding a 13-season spell at Leicester City. With the Foxes, he scored 183 goals in 372 league appearances, as well as winning the Premier League in the 2015/16 season.

His return to English football had been a possibility during the summer. West Ham inquired about Vardy in August, Wrexham also showed interest, and the player received proposals from other markets.

Everton's option now adds a Premier League destination to the list. Vardy has netted 145 goals in the English competition, placing him among the historical top scorers of the league, and he will turn 40 on January 11, 2027.

Currently, the information suggests that Everton is considering the operation, not that there is a closed agreement or a formal offer. Jamie Vardy can negotiate as a free agent post-market closure, and the next move will depend on whether David Moyes decides to pursue him to cover Balogun's absence.
