Seattle Sounders and Mexico midfielder Obed Vargas could be on his way to Europe as soon as next week, with a deal said to be moving quickly toward the final stages.
Vargas, 18, has been a regular part of the Sounders’ first-team set-up and has continued to raise his profile with his club and with Mexico. His performances have attracted interest from overseas, and the latest reports suggest a transfer could be wrapped up in the coming days.
The update indicates that a move is not viewed as a long-term project, but one that may be close to completion, with the suggestion that the midfielder could complete the switch next week.
Vargas has been developed in Seattle’s system and has already built experience at MLS level despite his age, making him one of the most talked-about young players in the league.
If the move is finalised, it would mark a major step in his career and another notable European departure for a young MLS talent.
