Getafe, Celta de Vigo, and Rayo Vallecano are attentive to the situation of 20-year-old Mexican-American midfielder Obed Vargas and would consider him for the upcoming season. Vargas's signing for Atlético de Madrid in the winter market was a surprise, and he was brought in as a player for future development. The original plan was for him to be loaned out, but he ultimately stayed and has played in 12 matches since then. Atlético de Madrid intends to aid his development by giving him more playing time at another club and prefers to loan him rather than sell him. Manager Diego Simeone noted that it is not simple to adapt to the team. He also described Vargas as a dedicated player who is eager to grow and listen. Simeone concluded that the player's future will ultimately be determined by what happens on the pitch. Vargas has 8 caps for Mexico's U20 team and is contracted with Atlético until June 2030. According to one report, his transfer from Seattle Sounders in February 2026 was for a base fee of €3.0 million with €5.0 million in add-ons. Another report, however, cited a base fee of approximately €6.0 million. It was also reported around that time that Seattle had rejected multiple offers of approximately €10 million from Liga MX clubs. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €8.00m.
