The start of the break up? Vardy's release clause met by Arsenal it seems. Leicester already seem to be identifying players to replace their main stars tbf but I'd think Vardy might not be a big loss compared to Kante or Mahrez. If they lost one out of the three then that'd be brilliant for them. Kante's exit rumours have quietened down compared to the start of the summer when Arsenal/Chelsea were rumoured to be in for him.
You mean the release clause that doesn't exist according to the reports when he signed the new contract a couple of months ago?
It's obviously not going to happen - just like when kante was supposed to be nearly done with a move to man city, who weren't even interested in signing him.

Well even if this is true, just because a clause is met that doesn't mean the player will agree to go.

Taking Leicester's players is a strategy the top clubs will be using to eliminate a competitor from next season. Vardy's career will be over if he goes to Arsenal. He'll play from the bench, decline in form as a result, get dropped and get sold to somewhere like Swansea.
Also I don't believe this story. If he was available for 20 million every club in the league would be activating the release clause.

Vardy seems quite level-headed, regardless of the blocking lookalikes/racist abuse type of stuff. He may not see Arsenal as a progressive move, but at the end of the day, he's older than Kante/Mahrez and may feel it's his last chance saloon to play for an elite, elite club.
I'm surprised Wenger's willing to pay that much for a player aged 29.

Ah right, well, if it doesn't exist then you'd hope Leicester will try to get more than £20m that's reportedly been offered if they do allow him to go. I don't think Arsenal will go further than that - maybe up to £25m on installments.

In today's market I'd say Vardy is worth £40m, and £60m if you're Arsenal.
Ridiculous numbers but possible in a modern game where money is no object.

I was also considering that Leicester won't want to sell him (unless he wants to go) and that the TV deal apparently spells the end of clubs selling to raise money.
Before the TV deal and if he was demanding a transfer, I would've said £20m or £25m.

How do you come to that?
Vardy has had one good season and is 30 in 6 months when reliant on pace... He's worth 20-30m.
I get the feeling he is being overrated here... Benteke consistently scored a few less over a few seasons - is 24 or so - and went for 30m.

Seems to all be getting confirmed for £22m.

When he's integral to the way we play? £20m is chumps change, particularly when Fleetwood are supposedly owed 25%. tbh I'd not sell him for £60m - what he'd actually be worth on the open market is irrelevant, it's what he's worth to Leicester - and putting a price on any of this squad is difficult, even more so the big three in Vardy, Kante and Mahrez.

If Ranieri keeps up his incredible transfer record, £60m would buy several players and Vardy wouldn't be missed much. It's not like they have to win the title next season either.
Ranieri's gonna get sacked in a couple of seasons for finishing 5th or something anyway.

He's made one great signing at Leicester, Kante
