Jamie Vardy, the forward of the Italian "Cremonese", may continue his career in La Liga.
Idman.Biz reports that the Spanish football clubs "Sevilla" and "Valencia" are closely monitoring the situation of the experienced forward. The 39-year-old footballer's contract with "Cremonese" expires at the end of the season. Although the Italian club has the option to extend the agreement for another year, there are currently no plans to activate this clause.
Both clubs want to attract an experienced player to the attacking line. "Sevilla" considers Vardy as a forward who can influence the team from day one and show leadership in stressful moments. "Valencia", on the other hand, is looking for a striker who can bring character and a winning mentality to the young squad.
The main advantage of the transfer is related to financial conditions. Vardy's salary is no more than 2.2 million euros (4.4 million AZN) per season. This makes him an accessible option for "Sevilla" and "Valencia", who want to strengthen their squad without significant transfer costs.
However, the transition is not without risks. Vardy has not shown the expected goalscoring performance in Italy. But his Premier League experience, performances on big stages and competitive character increase the interest of Spanish clubs.
If "Cremonese" does not extend the contract, the English striker could become a more attractive target for La Liga clubs as a free agent. Currently, "Sevilla" and "Valencia" consider this opportunity as one of the unexpected but real options on the market.
