SIPG met the strong Zhejiang team in this round of the Chinese Super League, and the team relied on Wu Lei's hat trick to defeat the opponent 3-1. At the same time, Vargas, the core of SIPG's midfield, sent a world-class long pass to Wu Lei to help the latter score. In this regard, many fans feel that Vargas's skills and vision are very good, and if Oscar's contract renewal is not successful in the future, then Vargas will naturally succeed the Brazilian commander.
It is worth noting that Vargas's contract with SIPG expires at the end of the year, based on his strong performances for the team in the Chinese Super League this season. SIPG is likely to sign a new contract with Vargas before the summer window closes, and the term is about three years. First of all, Vargas, who was born in '97, is in the prime of his career, and SIPG has no problem giving him a big contract of about three years.
Secondly, Oscar's contract with Hong Kong expires in November. If Oscar refuses to take a significant salary cut to renew his contract, SIPG can only send him away. Therefore, SIPG can take precautions to renew Vargas's contract in advance and let him succeed Oscar. Finally, Vargas is a very strong player, having been an Argentine international and the core of the national Olympic team. At the beginning, Vargas's transfer to Espanyol cost as much as 10.5 million euros, and the prospects are limitless.
It's a pity that Vargas didn't play at the level he should have in the Espanyol team, and the only gain was to get to know Wu Lei. At that time, Vargas privately said that if Wu Lei returned to the Chinese Super League, he would bring him with him to make a lot of money. Maybe Vargas is a joke, but Wu Lei, who keeps his promise, has not forgotten.
Wu Lei recommended Vargas to SIPG, which allowed him to get the high salary he wanted. Last season, Xavier was the head coach of SIPG, and he was not interested in Vargas's ability and almost used him out. Fortunately, Vargas has ushered in the peak of his career this season under the tutelage of new coach Muscat, and has played many good passes. Therefore, SIPG's official announcement of signing a new contract with Vargas is what everyone is looking forward to.
