Rio Ferdinand makes “Hollywood” Jamie Vardy as he decided to Join Wrexham AFC on a 2-year deal

Rio Ferdinand has revealed that he would love to see Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy join Wrexham were he to leave the Foxes this summer.

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand wants to see striker Jamie Vardy make a surprise move to Wrexham AFC should he leave Leicester City this summer.

Vardy has been at the King Power Stadium since 2012, when he joined the club from Fleetwood Town.

In that time, the striker has experienced many successes with the football club, including this season, as he played a crucial role in the club not only getting promoted but winning the Championship by a single point.

The Leicester man signed a two-year deal in 2022, which now runs out this summer, but it has been hinted by manager Enzo Maresca that a new deal for the striker could be on its way, meaning his time at the club might not be over just yet.

Maresca told Leicestershire Live prior to the club’s final game of the season: “It’s all season that you ask about Jamie! Jamie Vardy is Leicester. Jamie Vardy, I didn’t discover him. Jamie Vardy will always score goals in his life.

“He’s going to score goals until he’s 45 because it’s in his blood to score goals. We are very lucky that he’s our player. He’s scored many goals.

“Not yet (we didn’t discuss the contract) because the target was to finish in the right way. We have a game on Saturday, and then we’ll sit, but my feeling is that he’s going to stay. This is just my feeling, but if I were to decide…”

 

It was reported by Sky Sports that given the Foxes are back in the top division, it is expected that Vardy will agree to a new one-year deal in the coming days.

If a new deal isn’t agreed upon, Ferdinand has urged the veteran striker to join newly promoted Wrexham AFC in League One next season.

Rio Ferdinand happy as Jamie Vardy to join Wrexham AFC

It looks as though Vardy could be set to extend his stay with Leicester beyond this summer, but if he doesn’t, Ferdinand has revealed that he would love to see the striker join Wrexham.

The former Manchester United defender did say he wants to see Vardy play in the Premier League again, but if he were to leave Leicester, he would love him to join the Red Dragons in League One.

Ferdinand said on Vibe with Five, via The Mirror: “He’s got to play another season in the Premier League. I want to see him get a couple of goals in the Premier League, it’s nice. The only club I’d like him to go to if he leaves is Wrexham.”
