Leicester City legend Jamie Vardy is reportedly wanted by teams in MLS.
The 38-year-old has earned icon status at the King Power Stadium after firing the Foxes to the Premier League title during a sensational 2015-16 term.
However, there have been times of hardship for Vardy and company recently, with the club suffering relegation to the Championship in two of the last three years.
A bottom-three finish this term was confirmed at the King Power on Sunday afternoon, when the Foxes lost 1-0 to league-leading Liverpool in the East Midlands.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's troops have five more top-flight fixtures to battle through before they can begin to recover ahead of life in the Championship.

Leicester hero Vardy set for MLS move?
According to The Sun, Leicester hero Vardy could be offered an interesting escape route from the second-tier Foxes ahead of the new campaign.
The report claims that the veteran striker is being eyed up by a host of clubs in the United States of America who are competing in MLS at this stage.
It is understood that a glamorous switch to North America could be an attractive prospect for Vardy and his family at this point of his career.
There is currently no suggestion that the forward could transfer to another side in England, given his deep-rooted ties to one-time English champions Leicester.
Vardy is likely to lead the line for the already-relegated Foxes on Saturday afternoon, when a daunting trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers is on the agenda.

Could Vardy do a job in the Championship?
Despite playing a bit-part role under Enzo Maresca in the Championship during 2023-24, Vardy has risen to the challenge of top-flight football this season.
The 38-year-old has performed exceptionally at points this term, netting seven goals and providing three assists across 31 Premier League appearances.
With Leicester likely to dominate possession in the Championship, Vardy could be the beneficiary of an increased number of goalscoring chances next term.
