AliousJamie Vardy Emerges as Shock Rangers Target Amid Transfer Overhaul at Ibrox
Rangers are reportedly weighing up a sensational swoop for Premier League legend Jamie Vardy, with the Scottish giants eyeing the free-agent forward as part of a major summer rebuild.
The 38-year-old striker, who recently ended his remarkable 12-year spell at Leicester City, is now considering his next move after etching his name into English football history. Vardy netted over 200 goals in 500 appearances for the Foxes and was a key figure in their iconic 2015/16 Premier League title triumph.
Now, according to the *Daily Mail*, Rangers have expressed concrete interest in the veteran marksman. The club’s recruitment team, led by newly appointed sporting director Kevin Thelwell, is reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing Vardy to Ibrox. Thelwell has taken charge following the surprise departure of Nils Koppen, with his trusted ally and former Everton colleague Dan Purdy also expected to join him in Glasgow.
Vardy, who is currently enjoying a family holiday in Turkey, is being courted by multiple suitors as he evaluates his future. While Celtic—managed by his former Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers—have also been loosely linked, Rangers appear to be the most proactive club pushing for his signature.
With no permanent manager in place at Ibrox yet, the recruitment drive is being led from behind the scenes as Rangers look to close the gap on fierce rivals Celtic, who recently secured a fourth consecutive league title. The club is set for a significant squad refresh this summer, with key names like Mohamed Diomande attracting interest from Everton and Ridvan Yilmaz linked with a return to Besiktas.
Bringing in Vardy would be a high-profile statement of intent. Despite his age, the former England international remains a proven goal scorer and a fierce competitor, traits Rangers could use as they seek to reassert themselves both domestically and in Europe.
Whether Vardy opts for a bold new challenge in Glasgow or chooses a different route remains to be seen, but Rangers fans will be watching closely as this potential blockbuster signing develops.
