(May 8) - Shanghai Harbour's Argentine midfielder Vargas scored a hat-trick in their latest match, helping his side to a 6-0 thrashing of Shenzhen Xinpengcheng. This drew a lot of attention from the fans and raised expectations from the Sarsfield fans he had played for. According to Argentinean media outlet Ole, Vargas, who was nearing the end of his contract with Shanghai Harbour about a year ago, is virtually certain to return to his old club Sarsfield. The Sarsfield club is struggling in relegation and is in dire need of a top player like Vargas to boost the team.
At the last minute Shanghai Harbour Club changed their decision and ended up keeping Vargas, dashing his dreams of returning to the club. Since then, Vargas has once again been getting a lot of playing time and has contributed greatly to Shanghai Harbour FC with goals and assists. His hat-trick in the most recent game has impressed fans with his abilities. Although Vargas' contract is set to expire in December 2024 and he is expected to be free to negotiate with any club to join, Sarsfield fans are still expecting him to return. They are eager to see the talented midfielder return to their beloved team and bring more glory to them.
