Matías Ezequiel Vargas Martín

Matías Ezequiel Vargas Martín

Matías Vargas attacks space from the left, cutting inside to threaten the back post and link with teammates. Monito thrives when the play opens. Matías Vargas broke through at Vélez Sarsfield in 2015 under Miguel Ángel Russo. He earned his Argentina debut in 2018 and then joined Espanyol in 2019 for a club-record fee, scoring on his debut. A productive loan at Adana Demirspor in 2021, followed by winning the Chinese Super League with Shanghai Port in 2023/24, marked a turning point. At Al Fateh, Matías Vargas operates as a left winger who presses high, runs beyond the line, and links play with one-touch layoffs. His low centre of gravity and controlled dribbles help him attack the back post and threaten the channel. He gets shots off quickly and finishes moves when space appears.
