Sporting eye up Obed Vargas, transfer terms spark debate | OneFootball

Sporting is interested in signing Obed Vargas as a free agent in 2026. With eyes on the transfer market, the names of the Lions’ targets for the January window are starting to emerge, and the 20-year-old Mexican is the latest.

The information is being reported by César Luis Merlo, through his account on the platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), who also adds that the green and whites are not the only ones in the race for the central midfielder. In fact, the player is also attracting strong interest from 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 make his move to Alvalade unfeasible.

In 2025, playing for the Seattle Sounders, Obed Vargas – valued at 8 million euros – has already played a total of 38 matches, totaling 3,359 minutes on the field. In those games, 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, counting for the third round of the Taça de Portugal, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 p.m.
