Leicester are going to offer a new contract to their age-old striker Jamie Vardy.
The home match against Blackburn next Saturday will be the last under Vardy’s current contract with Leicester.
However, even at the age of 37, Jamie proves that he can be useful. The day before, the English veteran scored a double against Preston, thanks to which the Foxes won 0:3 and won the Championship title.
In total, Vardy has scored 18 goals this Championship season and is expected to have no shortage of offers from other clubs. At the same time, Jamie is the highest-paid player at Leicester, who is experiencing serious problems with compliance with the rules of financial fair play.
The Daily Mail expects that negotiations between Vardy and Leicester on a new deal will be “delicate”, but both sides are determined to find a compromise that will allow Jamie to play in the Premier League for the Foxes again.
Vardy himself does not even think about retiring from his career and feels that he will be able to play football in his fifth decade.

Summary:
Veteran striker Jamie Vardy is set to be offered a new contract by Leicester City despite his current deal expiring next match and his status as the club’s highest earner. Vardy’s recent performances, including a brace against Preston that secured the Championship title for Leicester, demonstrate his continued value. However, Leicester’s financial struggles complicate negotiations, and a compromise is needed to keep Vardy playing in the Premier League. The 37-year-old reportedly has no plans to retire and believes he can play into his 40s.
