Report: No Jamie Vardy release clause in Leicester City contract

Jamie Vardy's new contract at Leicester City reportedly does not have a release clause, despite rumours suggesting otherwise.

The 29-year-old put pen to paper on a deal until 2019 last month.

There were reports that a £30m release clause was written in, but according to Sky Sports News, that stipulation does not exist.

Vardy, who was linked to Manchester United in the January transfer window, has been a pivotal figure in Leicester's Premier League title campaign as he has scored 19 goals in the top flight.

The Foxes currently sit with a five-point lead at the top of the table.
