With his imminent departure from Leicester City, Jamie Vardy is reportedly set to snub Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham despite achieving the promotion to EFL Championship.
Jamie Vardy has announced that he will leave Leicester City at the end of the season, sparking questions about his next destination. After rumors linked him to Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham, Vardy is reportedly set to snub the club despite their promotion to the EFL Championship.
Reynolds and McElhenney have made history in English soccer with Wrexham’s recent rise, drawing global interest thanks not only to their Hollywood fame but also to the serious, long-term project they have built — culminating in three consecutive promotions.
After 13 years at Leicester City — where he helped deliver one of the most extraordinary Premier League titles in history during the 2015–16 season — Vardy confirmed he will move on from the Foxes. It didn’t take long for rumors to swirl, and Wrexham, fresh off their promotion to the Championship, quickly emerged as a potential destination. However, it appears the English striker has other plans.
Jamie Vardy reportedly not interested in joining Wrexham
According to Sky Sports, Jamie Vardy is expected to snub Wrexham, as he is not interested in playing for another EFL Championship team. The report claims that Vardy does not want to swap Leicester City — recently relegated from the Premier League — for another club in England’s second tier.
Vardy has also been linked to Sheffield Wednesday, the club he supports, but his stance remains the same. The veteran forward believes he still has plenty to offer at the Premier League level and is reportedly open to offers from top clubs across Europe’s major leagues.
His contract with Leicester City is set to expire in June 2025, meaning he will become a free agent heading into the upcoming season. Sky Sports reports that Vardy will actively begin searching for his next club once the current Premier League campaign concludes.
Reynolds and McElhenney have already succeeded in bringing former Premier League stars like Jay Rodriguez and Steven Fletcher to Wrexham, key figures in the club’s historic promotion to the Championship. While Vardy appears to be out of the picture, Wrexham are still aiming to make another high-profile signing as they prepare for yet another landmark season.
