Obed Vargas, a 21-year-old Mexican midfielder, is close to becoming a new player for Getafe after an advanced agreement with Atlético de Madrid. The deal would be finalized in the next few days as a loan without a purchase option, in the final stretch of the transfer market.

Obed Vargas will leave Atlético de Madrid for Getafe

Discussions between Atlético de Madrid and Getafe have progressed to place Vargas close to the Coliseum. The player is not part of Diego Simeone's immediate plans, as he has not been included in the squads for the first three matchdays of LaLiga.

The departure is a sporting decision by Atlético: Vargas needs playing time, and the club believes a loan could facilitate that objective. The agreed-upon formula does not include a purchase option, so the player would return to Madrid at the end of the season.

Getafe has managed to outbid other clubs that had inquired about the midfielder. Valencia, Sevilla, Alavés, and Málaga also showed interest, but the possibility of staying in Madrid and competing in European competitions has influenced the operation.

The azulón team will participate this season in the Conference League, a factor that has helped tilt Vargas's destiny. This way, the Mexican will have the opportunity to compete in LaLiga and in Europe during his loan.

A contract with Atlético until 2030

Vargas arrived at Atlético de Madrid on February 2, 2026 from the Seattle Sounders. The red and white club paid 3 million euros for his signing and linked him until June 30, 2030.

His first season in Madrid ended with 12 league matches, four of which he started. In the current campaign, Simeone still hasn't called him up for the first three matchdays, a situation that has accelerated the search for a temporary exit.

The Mexican international was born on August 5, 2005 in Anchorage, Alaska, and holds American and Mexican nationality. Vargas represents Mexico, the national team with which he participated in the last World Cup.

Prior to joining Atlético, Vargas completed his training and early professional years at the Seattle Sounders. In five seasons with the American team, he played 130 matches, scoring 8 goals and providing 16 assists, before making the move to Europe.

Getafe, chosen destination to gain playing time

The operation aligns with the roadmap that Atlético has set for Vargas. The club has the player under contract until 2030, and the loan to Getafe does not involve a permanent purchase, so his future will continue to depend on the Madrid entity.

The situation may be resolved before the market closes, set for September 1 at 23:59. With negotiations well advanced, Vargas is on the verge of swapping Atlético de Madrid for Getafe during this season.

If there are no last-minute changes, Obed Vargas will play on loan at Getafe and will have a season to increase his competitive participation before returning to Atlético de Madrid, the owner of his rights until 2030.
