But despite turning 39 this season, Vardy could be on his way to Italy.

Sky Sports claims Cremonese have made contact with the forward over a move.

The newly-promoted side beat giants AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro on Saturday.

And they feel Vardy could give them the extra cutting edge needed to avoid relegation back to Serie B.

The veteran scored 200 goals in 500 games at Leicester.

But Vardy has already seen a move to Italy collapse this summer.

The 2016 Premier League title winner had previously agreed personal terms with Genoa.

However, boss Patrick Vieira ended up blocking the deal, which had been put together by club execs.

Since leaving the King Power, Vardy has been linked with a host of clubs.

He was reportedly offered to Manchester United in July.

While SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this month that Vardy is dreaming of a reunion with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic.

A source told SunSport: “Jamie still believes he can play week in week out and has a lot to offer.

“He’s a model professional and is keeping himself in great condition.

“He’d love to move to Celtic and really has his heart set on that move.

“He loved playing under Brendan and thinks he could be a massive benefit to the team up there. In fact, ever since it became clear Celtic were up for the deal Jamie’s been desperate to make it happen.

“But other clubs are keen to so time will tell. But one thing is for sure he won’t be without a team at the end of August.”
