""I hope [to one day play with Atlético], I think if I keep doing everything well then one day I'll be able to join," he said during the 2025 summer tournament."
""They [Club América] reached out, but my priority is going to Europe," Vargas said to ESPN."
""Every time I've been in a camp, the coaching staff lets us know that we are in there for a reason," Vargas said. "There is only a certain number of players that can make the roster, so if you are here it means you have a chance to make the World Cup roster. They tell us to be healthy, be fit and be playing, that'll give you the best chance of making the squad. So those are my goals this year, be healthy, be fit and be playing.""
