If screenwriter Adrian Butchart is genuinely hoping to make Jamie Vardy: The Movie then this will provide another nerve-shattering twist in the already unbelievable saga.
But while there has been talk of who would play the former Fleetwood Town man in his rags-to-riches rise to the summit of the Premier League, Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has been silent on the whole thing....until now.
The former Chelsea manager quite fancies the sound of big screen legend Robert De Niro playing him in Vardy's life story.
“I heard something about that. Why not? He’s a fantastic actor," he is quoted as saying by The Sun.
De Niro is most famous for his roles in Taxi Driver, The Godfather Part II, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, though in later years he's injected some frivolity into his repertoire, starring in Meet the Fockers and Dirty Grandpa.
But we'd just love to see him play the likeable Leicester boss. So who's going to play Nigel Pearson then? There are no prizes for guessing that Vinny Jones is the actor being heavily linked with that role. It was made for him.
