Jamie Vardy: Would he consider England return?
Vardy linked with England return after injuries to Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford
www.skysports.comHere’s the latest on Jamie Vardy and potential return to England.
- Recent reports in May 2026 suggest Jamie Vardy could be returning to England after leaving Cremonese, with Cremonese relegated and his contract expiring at the end of June 2026. These stories note he would be entering free agency and are focused on possible destinations in England.[3][5]
- Historically, Vardy has not ruled out an England return in the past, but has indicated any comeback would depend on timing and opportunities for younger forwards; Gareth Southgate has kept the door open in previous discussions when Vardy was in peak club form.[1][4]
- At 39 years old in 2026, any move back to English football would be notable and could involve clubs seeking experienced Premier League scorers, with rumors linking him to various English clubs, though none have been confirmed as imminent transfers as of late May 2026.[5][7][3]
