The experienced striker will be a free agent this summer on the expiration of his current deal and is thought to be keen on remaining in the Premier League.
And according to the Independent, Crystal Palace are one top flight club who are considering offering him a deal.
The Eagles, who beat Man City 1-0 to win the FA Cup on Saturday, are reportedly weighing up a move for the forward to bolster Oliver Glasner’s front line.
Palace already have both Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eddie Nketiah as options up top, but are still considering adding Vardy to the mix.
Vardy managed nine goals and four assists for Leicester this season as the King Power outfit were relegated back to the Championship.
And the club legend was given a fitting farewell from the Leicester fans when he played his final game for the club in a 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town.
The former England international found the back of the net to take his total for Leicester to a satisfying 200 goals in 500 appearances.
Vardy had been linked with a switch to Hollywood owned Wrexham, who sealed a promotion into the Championship this season.

But a potential move to the Welsh outfit was seemingly ruled out by Wrexham exec Humphrey Ker this week.
While Vardy has insisted that Leicester will have no problems adjusting to life after his exit.
Speaking after their 2-0 win over Ipswich, he said: “They’ll be fine, they’ll be fine.
“We’ve got a good squad and we’ve got all the youngsters coming through as well.
“I’m glad I’m not them, because football is a killer mentally and I couldn’t do it all again if I’m honest.
“But I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and I look forward to keeping an eye on the club I love.”
