Vardy, 38, has a long history with Leicester, where he played for 13 years and won several titles, including the Premier League. He joined the club from a lower-league team, Fleetwood Town, in the mid-2000s.
During his time at Leicester, Vardy became known for his goal-scoring ability and was named the top scorer in the Premier League in the 2019-20 season. He also won the FA Cup in 2021 and earned 26 caps for the English national team, scoring seven goals.
Cremonese, where Vardy may join, is a promoted team in Serie A and has had a strong start to the new season. They face Sassuolo in their second match on Friday.
