According to a Daily Mail article, Jamie Vardy and Leicester City are “open” to signing a new one-year contract this summer.
Leicester City was promoted from the Championship and is now back in the Premier League.
Vardy, 37, is scheduled to become a free agent when his current deal with the Foxes expires at the end of June.
He has initiated discussions with Enzo Maresca’s team about prolonging his stay because he wants another chance in the top level, according to the Daily Mail. Negotiations, nevertheless, might be “delicate” because he is “likely” to receive offers from other sources.

Vardy has been in decent form for Leicester City this season and has helped them bounce back at the first time of asking following their relegation last year.
The Sheffield-born man is showing no signs of slowing down just yet and is still as effective as ever for the Foxes. He has scored 20 goals in all competitions in this campaign, 18 of which have come in the league.
The ex-England international, who made 26 caps for the Three Lions with his most recent one coming in 2018, has been a great servant since moving to the King Power Stadium.
Vardy started out in the academy at local side Sheffield Wednesday before spells at Stocksbridge Park Steels, FC Halifax Town and Fleetwood Town before Leicester City snapped him up in 2012.
He has made 463 appearances in all competitions for his current club and has fired 190 goals.
The attacker helped the Foxes win the Premier League title back in 2016 and then the FA Cup in 2021 and has played for them in the Champions League.
Keeping hold of him for another 12 months would be a shrewd decision if the two parties can strike a deal.
Leicester City are already up as they prepare to face Blackburn Rovers at home on the final day.
