Ex-Premier League Captain Rejects Jamie Vardy Transfer Offer

ITALY, JUL 6 – Genoa head coach Patrick Vieira rejected Jamie Vardy’s transfer despite a sponsor-funded deal, citing tactical mismatch as the reason for vetoing the veteran striker’s move.

  • Jamie Vardy, the 38-year-old former Leicester City captain, announced his departure from the Foxes at the end of last month.
  • Vardy is seeking a new challenge after a 13-year career at Leicester, where he scored 200 goals in 500 games, but his proposed move to Serie A club Genoa was vetoed by head coach Patrick Vieira.
  • Genoa's sporting director had agreed on contract terms with Vardy, backed by private sponsors, but Vieira blocked the transfer as Vardy did not fit the team's style of play.
  • Vardy has received interest from several clubs, including Rangers, Wrexham, and offers from the Saudi Pro League and MLS, while bookmakers currently favor Rangers as his next destination.
  • With Leicester yet to name a replacement and Vardy intent on continuing his career, he remains a free agent ready to explore opportunities both in England and abroad.
