Supporters of Leicester City Football Club have been waiting all summer to find out which club Jamie Vardy would choose to sign for in 2025/26. But it seems as though the wait has finally come to an end, even with two or three matches already played in most top leagues this season. Nevertheless, the retired England National Team representative and his family have now made their choice with just enough time to spare. We will also reveal the outfit he reportedly rejected. So today (Monday, September 1) we can reveal that Vardy's new fans greeted, or joyously mobbed him, at Lombardy Airport as he touched down in Europe. But which side did the 38-year-old join? Let's discover the next chapter in the Vardy chronicles!
Leicester City legend said to have declined move to Feyenoord
According to many reports from various European sources of varying degrees of quality and standing, Dutch club Feyenoord were pushing hard to acquire Vards before he arrived in Northern Italy. De club aan de Maas, as Feyenoord are known in the Netherlands, offered Vardy a return to Champions League football. Alas, head coach Robin van Persie didn't get his man.

The striker's selection is obviously an unpredictable one; nobody had Cremonese picked. However, Davide Nicola's men are enjoying a kind of fairytale at the moment. They have won every Serie A games so far.
