An unexpected destination for Vardy.

Jamie Vardy has become Valencia's top target in the 2025 summer transfer window.

According to SunSport, after officially leaving Leicester City at the end of this season, Vardy could be preparing for a surprising new chapter in his career in La Liga, a league dominated by giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Carlos Corberan, Valencia's head coach and former West Brom manager, is reportedly keen to sign Vardy on a free transfer. Given Valencia's financial difficulties, Corberan sees Vardy as a "bargain" signing, offering both experience and attacking strength in his signature counter-attacking style.

Vardy leaves Leicester after many years with the club.

Despite turning 38, Vardy still showed formidable form, scoring 10 goals in the 2024/25 season, including 9 in the Premier League. He recently had an emotional farewell with Leicester City, scoring his 200th goal in his 500th appearance, exactly 13 years since joining the club from Fleetwood Town for just £1 million.

Although Vardy has expressed a desire to continue playing in the Premier League, he is also open to lifestyle changes, including offers from MLS (USA) and Saudi Arabia. However, Valencia, a destination in Spain with its high level of competition and technical style of play, would be a compelling final challenge before he considers retirement.

Coach Corberan has revived Valencia this season. When he took over late last year, Valencia were bottom of La Liga with just 12 points. But since the 1-7 defeat to Barcelona on January 26th, the coach has led the club to an impressive 14-match run with 8 wins, 5 draws, and only 1 defeat against Atletico Madrid.

If Valencia win against Real Betis in their upcoming match, they could very well finish the season in 10th place, something few "Bats" fans would have dared to imagine just a few months ago.

Jamie Vardy's arrival not only strengthens Valencia's attack but also provides a huge boost in morale and media attention. During this transitional period, the Spanish club hopes that the Premier League icon will be the perfect piece to conclude a revitalized season and open up a promising future.
