Club career

[edit]

Deportivo Cali

[edit]

After being loaned out to Deportivo Cali from July 2016 to July 2017, and later the 2018 season, Deportivo Cali confirmed that they had redeemed the player's purchase option and signed a contract until 2021 with the goalkeeper.[2]

Atlas

[edit]

On 6 July 2019, Vargas was confirmed as a new player in Club Atlas.[3] In 2021, Vargas was the undisputed starter for the team, including the final for the Mexican tournament (La Liga MX) against Leon for away and home matches. During the away game he was partly responsible for an error which ended in a goal for Leon. However, during the home match he played a role keeping the zero including the extra time. The match ended going for the penalties round where he made two saves giving Atlas the win. This title ended a 70 years hiatus for the team.[4]

International career

[edit]

Since the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Vargas has been consistently called up in the Colombia national football team by manager José Pekerman. Despite being included in the World Cup squad, he made his debut against El Salvador at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey on 10 October 2014, that Colombia won, 3-0.

In May 2018, he was included in the Colombia preliminary 35 man team for the 2018 World Cup, in Russia.[5]

Since 2023, Vargas is the undisputed starter for Colombia; being the main goalkeeper throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification competition.

During 2024, Vargas was part of Colombia's 26 man squad for 2024 Copa América,[6] being the main goalkeeper of the team, playing every single match of the competition.
