The English striker has been linked to a move away from this year's Premier League sensation, with clubs such as Arsenal or Real Madrid interested in signing him.

Leicester City wants to keep their most valuable asset available for a long time, and the club will take the necessary steps to offer Jamie Vardy a long-term deal in the following weeks.

Sources indicate that, given his excellent performances this year, the Foxes are ready to offer the 28-year old striker the most lucrative contract ever signed by a footballer in the club's history.

Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Real Madrid have been named as some of the potential destinations for Vardy, but the player has pledged his loyalty to the Foxes.

Vardy's form has already granted him a place in Leicester City's history.

Vardy, the Premier League's top scorer, managed to break Ruud Van Nistelrooy's record of most consecutive games scoring at least one goal this Saturday, while the Foxes played against Manchester United. 

Sources indicate the club and the player have started negotiations to extend his contract, giving the English international a 100% wage increase if he decides to sign an extension.
