Leicester City Icon Jamie Vardy Presented with Rangers Transfer Proposal
Rangers have reportedly stepped up their efforts to lure veteran striker Jamie Vardy to Ibrox, with the Leicester City legend being handed a direct pitch over a potential move to Glasgow this summer.
Vardy, 37, is widely admired for his remarkable rise from non-league football to Premier League glory, and with his contract at Leicester City nearing its end, speculation over his next career step continues to grow. Reports emerging from both Scotland and England suggest that Rangers have made a formal approach, with club officials outlining the role and vision they see for the forward under manager Russell Martin.
The Ibrox club is in the middle of a major squad rebuild and believes Vardyโs experience, leadership, and winning mentality could be key in their push to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title and make an impact in European competitions. Sources close to the situation indicate that Vardy was not only presented with a financial package but also given detailed insight into the sporting project, lifestyle in Glasgow, and what playing for Rangers would mean to his legacy.
Vardy has spent over a decade with the Foxes, where he famously helped them to an astonishing Premier League title win in 2016 and became one of the leagueโs most prolific and respected forwards. Although now in the twilight of his career, the Englishman remains in high demand, with interest also understood to be coming from the MLS and Saudi Arabia. However, Rangers are hopeful that the chance to play in front of one of footballโs most passionate fanbases and compete in European football could prove decisive.
Russell Martin is believed to be a long-time admirer of Vardyโs aggressive pressing style, professionalism, and big-game mentality. If a deal is agreed, Vardy would join a growing list of high-profile signings this summer as Rangers aim to close the gap on Celtic and bounce back from recent disappointments.
For now, Vardy has yet to publicly comment on the possibility of moving north, but sources suggest he is seriously considering the offer and is intrigued by the challenge. The coming weeks will be crucial as Rangers continue talks, and fans eagerly await what could be one of the most headline-grabbing transfers of the Scottish summer.
