Claudio Ranieri speaks out on Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City future

Claudio Ranieri speaks out on Jamie Vardy’s Leicester City future

At the end of this season, the striker’s contract is scheduled to expire.

Jamie Vardy doesn’t seem to be disclosing much about his future, not even to people he is close to.

That comes after Claudio Ranieri, the striker’s former manager of Leicester City,

said the player had not disclosed to him his plans for the upcoming campaign.

Vardy and the Foxes have had a great season;

as Championship championship winners, they have been promoted back to the Premier League on their first try.

Vardy may have one more chance to play for Leicester,

but it’s uncertain whether or not that will happen,

and Ranieri doesn’t seem to be aware of the circumstances either.

Answering a query about Vardy’s future, Ranieri

Vardy’s contract with Leicester is now slated to expire at the end of the current campaign,

therefore it’s possible that he will depart the team in the upcoming months without any more obligations.

However, it doesn’t appear that the 37-year-old will retire,

and the Foxes have begun negotiations with him on a new deal.

Vardy, though, was also sighted in Italy over the weekend, where he saw Como—who has supporters like Cesc

Fabregas and Thierry Henry—secure their promotion

back to Serie A for the first time in more than 20 years.

However, it appears that Ranieri, who is presently managing Cagliari in the Italian top division,

is apprehensive of what the future holds for his former player.

Leicestershire Live cited Ranieri, who notably led Leicester and Vardy to the Premier League title in 2016,

as responding to the question of if he is aware of the 37-year-old’s plans:

“I’m not aware of that. No, I wasn’t called by him.

He might not even have my Italian number on file. I’m not sure if Fabregas is considering him.

However, I’m happy to see every one of my guys that competed with me in England for the championship.”

Vardy has made 464 appearances for Leicester thus far in all competitions,

tallying 190 goals and dishing out 66 assists.

He has won one FA Cup, Community Shield, two Championship crowns,

and one Premier League at The King Power Stadium overall.

Watch out for Vardy this summer.

It appears that over the coming months, Vardy’s future will undoubtedly be something to watch.

He is clearly nearing the end of his career at 37, but as he has demonstrated for Leicester this season,

he is still more than capable of having a significant impact on the field.

That makes him a desirable target for other teams, particularly if he’s available on a free transfer.

In addition, his profile might draw in more attention from teams that are able to sign him.

On the other hand, he has a significant choice about the possibility of staying on at Leicester.

On the one hand, Vardy might view this as an opportunity

to leave the team with the Championship championship, capping off a fantastic career.

On the other hand, he might find it quite alluring to

get another opportunity to prove his mettle in the Premier League with the team.

Because of this, he still has a lot to think about,

and considering how long and close his relationship has been to Leicester,

making a decision will probably not be simple.

Given this, it may not come as a huge surprise if Ranieri’s ignorance of

Vardy’s plans for the upcoming season stems, at least in part, from Vardy’s lack of self-awareness.
