A plethora of well-known and ranging clubs on multiple continents would love to get their hands on Jamie Vardy for the upcoming 2025/26 season. And you simply cannot blame these teams for coveting the ex-England international, even as a Leicester City fan. We truly know just what magic the veteran centre forward can bring to a side.

However, Vardy's 13-year stint at King Power Stadium had to come to an end at some point. He duly left the East Midlands at the end of the previous campaign. Well, he actually departed Leicestershire with one match to go - and still scored his 200th Foxes goal. What an absolute legend!

Now those of us in the Blue Army fan base must allow our hero to move onto a new challenge. Difficult as it is to do so. Us LCFC supporters are very keen to know where the iconised footballer will finish up. Many options are said to be available to the Vardys as they choose the next destination.

Will that new adventure be in the United States' own Major League Soccer division? Or will Vards remain in England with a Premier League or Champions outfit? He could uproot to Scotland, Italy, or even Spain. Though today we focus on those interested clubs close to home. Will Leeds United, Sunderland or Rangers get their wish? The trio have received respective Vardy transfer updates this weekend.

We will never get Vardy closure at Leicester as such. But the LCFC faithful will more than likely closely track his progress. The latest gossip suggests new Rangers head coach Russell Martin would like the striker for his rebuild.

While Leeds are set to offload talent to make space for fresh blood. City could even get Sam Greenwood from the Peacocks. Sunderland, meanwhile, require some experience to mesh with their youthful squad.
