This summer, Liga MX side Tigres were ready to pay $10m for the 20-year-old American midfielder Obed Vargas, but Seattle Sounders rejected the bid. There is a strong market for him, and European teams are also monitoring him; Atlético Madrid has previously been linked with the player. Vargas' contract with the MLS side runs until the end of 2025, with a club option for another year, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €6.00m.
