# Leicester star has a huge buyout clause in contract revealed

![vardy](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/vardy-500x353.jpg)The Leicester City fans playing darts may have had their fair share of surprises after their impressive title-chasing campaign, but they have been left further shocked by [a report in The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/article4707869.ece) which claims that Jamie Vardy has a £30 million buyout clause in his contract.

Striker Vardy has netted an impressive 19 goals in 29 games this term and was recently rewarded with a new contract at the King Power Stadium that saw his wage increase to £80,000 per week. The 29-year old’s prolific campaign have seen him attract the attention of England manager Roy Hodgson.

However, [Vardy also received the unwelcome attention](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/article4707869.ece) of Premier League rivals Manchester City, United and Chelsea in January.

But our Leicester supporting punters will be raising a toast to the latest news, although the implementation of a buyout clause which would force the Foxes to sell could cause a problem if a big outfit were to be prepared to pay it.

**Leicester fans, are you happy to hear that Vardy has a high buyout clause? Let us know in the comments below!**
