Jamie Vardy is convinced that he still has a Premier League career for him while he prepares to call time for his 13 years in Leicester.
Vardy will not be on 25 May in the last match of the Foxes of the campaign, in Bournemouth, which means that his 500th performance – against Ipswich in the King Power Stadium on Sunday – will be his last in Leicester Colors.
But despite the interest of various championship clubs, Vardy is aimed at staying at the highest level, with the Premier League his preference.
Asked if he wanted to stay with the elite, the 38-year-old said: “Yes, 100 percent. But again, football is a crazy world. So you never know what will happen. I am always enthusiastic about what will come next.
'I always said that I will continue until my legs literally tell me, no, you have to stop, we are ready. And my legs are fine, “he told Sky Sports.
Vardy needs another goal to make it 200 for Leicester, and it would make a suitable comparison if he could reach the goal in his 500th match.
Although he has eight goals this period, Vardy Leicester was unable to save from relegation. The Foxes will immediately return to the championship after a gloomy campaign.
Their most important task is now to decide who will lead their challenge to win promotion.
Ruud van Nistelrooy has presented his plans to the hierarchy, but still has to learn if he gets the chance to put them into practice.
After such a embarrassing season, it is expected to be an adaptation of the structure of Leicester, which means that the recruitment leader Martyn Glover may play a more central role.
Until now, Jon Rudkin, a strong ally of chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, had been an almighty director of football, but this season it has been aimed by angry supporters, who blame him for the slump of Leicester.
