Sporting move? Obed Vargas rejects Mexico, picks his next club | OneFootball

Obed Vargas, a player associated with Sporting, is said to have turned down Club América from Mexico, staying firm in his goal to move to Europe in the next step of his career. Although there are no new developments regarding a possible move by the Lions, the truth is that the 20-year-old player has his goal well defined.

This information is being reported by the Mexican press, which notes that the Seattle Sounders player from MLS is not ruling out a possible return to his home country later in his career, but believes it is time to aim for new heights.

The Alvalade Club is one of the teams in the race to secure his arrival as a free player, but there is strong competition for the 20-year-old midfielder. César Luis Merlo, through his account on the platform 'X' (formerly Twitter), revealed that Vargas is viewed favorably in the Bundesliga.

With Hidemasa Morita's departure almost certain at the end of the season and some doubts about the continuity of Morten Hjulmand, Sporting is starting to explore the market to ensure options that can fill the gaps if one of these players ends up leaving sooner than expected.

In 2025, playing for the Seattle Sounders, Obed Vargas - valued at 8 million euros -, has already played a total of 41 matches, accumulating 3,620 minutes on the field. In these matches, he scored six goals and provided two assists to his teammates.
