Jamie Vardy's Crazy Weekly Cremonese Wage Revealed After He Makes History

Jamie Vardy has made history with Cremonese following his move to Italy after departing Leicester City.

Vardy is a Foxes legend after spending more than a decade at the King Power Stadium following a £1m move in 2012 from then non-league side Fleetwood Town.

The 38-year-old would go on to score 200 goals in 500 appearances across all competitions in 13 seasons.

Vardy's finest hour came in the 2015-16 season when his goals helped propel Leicester to the Premier League title.

The striker also won the FA Cup, Community Shield and two Championship titles during his time at the East Midlands club.

Vardy also scored seven goals in 26 caps for England between 2015 and 2018.

His time at Leicester came to an end over the summer after the forward confirmed he would be leaving the club for pastures new as he sought to continue his playing career elsewhere.

He said: "To the fans of Leicester, I'm gutted that this day is coming, but I knew it was going to come eventually.

"I've spent 13 unbelievable years at this club, with lots of success, and some downs, but the majority have all been highs.

"It's finally time to call it a day, which I'm devastated about, but I think the timing is right.

"Leicester will always, always have a massive place in my heart.

"This isn't retirement. I want to keep on playing and doing what I enjoy most - scoring goals.

"I may be 38 but I still have the desire and ambition to achieve so much more."

Vardy joined Serie A outfit Cremonese at the start of September on a free transfer on an initial one-year deal, with the option to extend this.

So far, Vardy has made 11 appearances in Serie A and found the back of the net on four occasions for Cremonese.

And his form for his new club has seen him make history after he became the first Englishman to win the Serie A Player of the Month award for November.

Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo said: "Jamie Vardy is truly a player from another era. One of those talents who, with their history, their achievements and the indomitable spirit with which they live every match, best express the romance of football.

"His arrival at Cremonese, who were quick to seize the opportunity this summer, was greeted with great enthusiasm by all Serie A fans, and Vardy is repaying them with top-level performances, innate leadership and important goals, the result of the competitive spirit and shooting skills that have always distinguished him."

At his peak at Leicester, Vardy enjoyed a weekly wage of £140,000, a figure that is now reportedly far lower at Cremonese.

According to estimates by Capology, Vardy now earns £31,420 per week at the Italian side, with weekly bonuses of up to £7,813 available, means the veteran could potentially earn more than £2m annually.
