While Wrexham has been linked with the veteran striker, some believe his future may align more closely with West Ham United and co-chairman David Sullivan.
Vardy, 38, has expressed a desire to continue playing in the Premier League, despite Leicester’s relegation. His impressive record, including nearly 200 goals for Leicester and a Premier League title in 2016, makes him an attractive option for top-flight clubs. However, West Ham’s interest in Vardy has been complicated by financial considerations. In 2016, Sullivan described Vardy’s £20 million release clause as “potty,” stating that signing him would have “smashed our current wage structure” .
Despite these past concerns, Vardy’s experience and goal-scoring ability could be valuable assets for West Ham, especially as they prepare for the 2025-26 season. Sullivan’s previous comments suggest that while financial prudence is a priority, the club is open to strategic signings that offer good value.
In contrast, Wrexham’s recent promotion to the Championship and their Hollywood backing could make them an appealing destination for Vardy. Co-owner Ryan Reynolds has expressed admiration for Vardy, and the club’s financial stability allows them to compete for high-profile players. However, Vardy’s preference for Premier League football may make a move to Wrexham less likely.
Ultimately, Vardy’s next move will depend on his priorities—whether he values the challenge of top-flight football with a club like West Ham or is drawn to the allure of Wrexham’s rise and potential. As the transfer window approaches, his decision will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
