Jamie Vardy, a 39-year-old English centre-forward, is a free agent following the conclusion of his contract with Italian side Cremonese. He joined the club in September 2025, and in the 2025/2026 Serie A season, made 29 appearances, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists. Vardy has been linked with a potential move to Birmingham City, as well as his former club Leicester and boyhood team Sheffield Wednesday. The player has reportedly dismissed the possibility of rejoining the Foxes, and it is said that no talks are at an advanced stage with any club. Regarding the link to Birmingham, Jason Moore, a fan pundit for Football League World, discussed the possibility, stating he would support the signing if it were for a single season on an affordable contract. Moore believes Vardy is still fit enough for the Championship and would be a positive character in the dressing room. He also mentioned that Vardy's media profile, including his activities related to Netflix, would offer good exposure for the club. The former England international has 26 caps and 7 goals for his country. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €1.00m.
