Marc Albrighton sets out case for Leicester City’s looming Jamie Vardy decision

Vardy has reached the final months of his contract at the King Power Stadium and a sentimental goodbye is looming, unless the 37-year-old is offered a new deal.

The calls for Jamie Vardy to remain with Leicester City for another decade may seem optimistic, but his long-time team-mate Marc Albrighton is confident that he has the stamina and determination to at least play for another season at the club.

Vardy is approaching the end of his city contract and a farewell to potentially the club’s greatest player is imminent. However, this could change if he is given an extension. Despite strong competition from younger players, Vardy continues to make an impact and currently shares the top scorer position in all competitions with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Stephy Mavididi, each having scored 10 goals.

In the last two games, where Vardy appeared as a substitute, City fans have made it clear that they are not ready to see an end to his time at the King Power Stadium.

Albrighton is in agreement with the sentiment. The winger, who has been Vardy’s team-mate for nearly a decade, believes that Vardy has maintained the qualities needed to continue performing at a high level. He emphasized that the forward’s work ethic, energy, and drive make him an invaluable asset to the club.

Amidst six senior players with expiring contracts, Vardy is one of them. Enzo Maresca, the manager, has stated that discussions about new deals are currently on hold until the club’s divisional status for the future season is clear. However, Maresca expressed his satisfaction with Vardy’s recent performance and contribution to the team, praising both his scoring ability and his hard work off the ball.
