Atlético continue search for Obed Vargas loan as options begin to run out Obed Vargas was left out of Atlético Madrid’s squad for the match against Athletic Club as the club continues to work on finding a new destination for the midfielder on loan. Atlético’s plan is for Vargas to leave temporarily in order to gain experience and, most importantly, regular playing time. However, the club has a limited amount of time to find a suitable destination, with several transfer windows closing over the coming days. The Turkish market closes tonight, while Portugal’s window shuts on Saturday and Saudi Arabia’s on Sunday. After those deadlines, Atlético will still have a number of markets to explore. Mexico and Brazil remain open until September 12, followed by Greece on September 15, and Morocco and Japan on September 16. With the main European options becoming increasingly limited, Atlético are now looking at markets where they still have time to complete a deal. The club’s priority is to find Vargas a destination where he can play regularly and continue his development through a loan spell.   submitted by   /u/IndividualPleasant23 [link]   [comments]
