Reporter Bingbing disclosed that Argentine star Vargas landed in the Chinese Super League (CSL) hand in hand with Wu Lei last summer, but fell into silence due to the change of coaches in the harbor. Recently, he said bluntly in an interview with Argentina's DSPortsradio, eager to leave the Chinese Super League and return to his hometown of Sarsfield.
Last year, Harbor signed Vargas for 4 million euros to revive the legend of "Wu Ba Tong Cheng". As the team's key winger, Vargas has been a star performer, contributing 1 goal and 10 assists in 18 Chinese Super League matches, including a feast of assists for both Yatai and Meizhou.
In the new season, the seaport changed its management, and the Spanish manager Javier initially gave Vargas a heavy use, but only five starts in the first six rounds and did not play a full game, and only got one assist. In the sixth round against Manatee, Vargas was replaced and clashed with Javier, who even impulsively tried to take action.
After the game, Javier said he emphasized at halftime that every player should focus on themselves, and Vargas's behavior has violated the bottom line. Subsequently, Vargas was suspended from the Zhejiang away match, and Javier said he hoped he would reflect calmly.
Vargas apologized to Javier, who accepted it and hoped he would find his form. Javier emphasized that as manager, his decisions are only for the benefit of the team and called for mutual respect among the players.
Vargas, who returned to the bench for the Meizhou away game, came on in the 76th minute but failed to pass to Wu Lei, opting instead to shoot. Javier felt that the choice may have been too impulsive.
Javier is establishing his authority in the harbor and trusts the local players more despite having five foreigners. Vargas is unhappy with the status quo and believes coaching issues have caused him to lose his starting position.
He was loaned to the Turkish Super League to experience a very different culture. Life in China has been exciting for him, but he also mentions many challenges.
Currently, Vargas' future is in the spotlight as his playing time in the midfield has been drastically reduced. He said that it is his dream to return to his home team Sarsfield, but everything is not under control.
Vargas has a year and a half left on his contract with the harbor and Sarsfield will have to pay a huge transfer fee. Despite interest from Brazil's Gremio, the transfer fee could be a hindrance.
Brazilian media have revealed that Gremio are looking to sign Vargas this summer, subject to salary requirements. The Brazilian side have been eyeing Vargas in recent years and he came close to joining Flamengo.
