Unión on alert over Vargas: Brazil set to move for the full-back | OneFootball

At Unión, they’re starting to look beyond the immediate future. While the team prepares to visit Estudiantes de La Plata, an issue has emerged that directly impacts future planning: Lautaro Vargas could leave in the next transfer window.

Lautaro Vargas, a name that had already been on the radar

This is not the first time Vargas has appeared on other teams’ radar. In the previous transfer window, his possible departure was a recurring topic, although he ultimately stayed at the club.

Now, the situation seems different. Inquiries have multiplied in recent weeks, and from Brazil the interest appears to be much more serious.

Confirmed absence in La Plata

Meanwhile, Vargas will not be part of the team this Saturday at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, as he must serve a one-match suspension for accumulated yellow cards.

His absence will force a reshuffle at right-back, but it will also shift the focus to his contractual situation and his immediate future.

One of Unión’s main saleable assets

At Unión, they know Vargas is one of the players with the greatest potential and market value in the squad. His continuity, performance, and consistency have established him as an important piece.

His numbers in recent seasons reflect that consistency:

2026 (Apertura): 12 matches (1,031 minutes)

2026 (Copa Argentina): 1 match (54 minutes)

2025 (Clausura): 15 matches (1,324 minutes)

2025 (Sudamericana): 6 matches (410 minutes)

2024 (Liga Profesional): 25 matches, 2 assists (1,805 minutes)

A market that could bring changes

The possible offer from Brazil opens up a scenario that Unión is already beginning to consider. Although no figures or the name of the interested club have emerged, the move appears to be concrete.
