The contract that Hearts’ Costa Rican winger Kenneth Vargas had with Alajuelense has been terminated. Vargas has been on loan in his home country for the past year. The termination follows the 24-year-old being one of three players removed from the national team's pre-World Cup squad for disciplinary reasons this week. Despite this, Vargas is still under contract with the William Hill Premiership club until 2029. The winger has 21 caps and 3 goals for Costa Rica, and his current market value is listed as €750k by Transfermarkt.
