2) Jamie Vardy – €23 million
Before Jamie Vardy signed a new contract at Leicester he had an incredibly affordable release clause. At €23 million the striker would be a steal for any club, which is the reason why Arsene Wenger triggered the cause.
But unfortunately the striker decided to stay at Leicester and Wenger was denied by the 29-year-old. Vardy scored an incredible 24 goals finishing just behind Harry Kane in the race for the golden boot.
United did purchase Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a free transfer this season, but if they would have failed in their endeavor for the Swede, Vardy would have been a very viable option. The forward recently stated that staying at his current club was an easy decision to make. Would it have been so easy if United came calling?
