Serie A newcomers Cremonese have reportedly made initial contact to sign Jamie Vardy, who was recently linked with a move to Celtic.
It was said last week that the Premier League legend had his heart set on a switch to Glasgow's east end. Vardy could yet make the move to Italy, though.
Indeed, respected journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Cremonese have made initial contact to sign the striker, and that he is considering the transfer.

Brendan Rodgers responds to Celtic 'underestimating' Kairat claim from rival manager
Cremonese were promoted to the Italian top flight after beating Spezia 3-2 in the play-offs at the end of last season.
Speaking on links to Vardy last week, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: "Listen, I will not speak about any individual player.
"Of course, I worked really well with Jamie; he was brilliant for me in my time at Leicester. But no, there have been so many names floated about, but I wouldn't disclose either way."
He was then asked about transfers last night, before the second leg of his team's crucial Champions League play-off with Kairat Almaty: "I think by the time we get back, hopefully we’ll be close to one or two things," admitted Rodgers.
Celtic are reportedly set to seal deals for Boca Juniors left-back Marcelo Saracchi and Michel-Ange Balikwisha of Royal Antwerp.
