Obed Vargas to Sporting: fresh updates on his arrival | OneFootball

Sporting is very close to reaching a verbal agreement for the signing of Obed Vargas. The information is being reported by Ekrem Konur, a Turkish specialist in the transfer market, who provides updates on the process involving the Mexican player from the Seattle Sounders.

The Alvalade Club is one of the teams in the race to secure his arrival as a free agent, 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.

Furthermore, regarding the market, Sporting has also recently shown interest in signing Kaiki, a young player from Cruzeiro. However, several European clubs have their eyes on the left-back, which could hinder his move to Alvalade.

In 2025, with the Seattle Sounders, Obed Vargas - valued at 8 million euros -, has already played a total of 38 matches, accumulating 3,359 minutes on the field. In those matches, he scored four goals and provided two assists to his teammates.

Sporting will return to the field only on Saturday, October 18, against Paços de Ferreira. The match, part of the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 PM.
