Juan Fernando Mejía, President & # 39; azucarero & # 39;

Camilo Vargas (Bogotá, 1989) was the most outstanding player of Deportivo Cali in 2018. Although the green team has not achieved any of the goals set this season, the number of goalkeepers has always been high under the three clubs. save bullets that had a network destination.

This allowed the goalkeeper of the World Cup (Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018) to win not only a fixed property, but also the affection of sugar fans.

However, his continuity in the team is outstanding. The reason? The loan from Atlético Nacional (owner of the sports rights club) is over. If Cali wants to keep it, he will have to buy it.

This scenario has always been clear, but the fact that the Verdiblancos have not yet used the Vargas purchase option is something that generates anxiety among fans.

Alberto Gamero, who was the first choice of Deportivo Cali, is still in Tolima

In this regard, Juan Fernando Mejía, president of the club, said: "We have until December 23 to use the option to buy, what we want to do." Camilo wants to stay in Cali. "

What are the scenarios that the goalkeeper manages?
Because of its quality and comfort within the team, Vargas' desire is to continue in the Sugar Club.

One of the reasons why the goal is to stay is the continuity it will have, a very important factor to maintain its shape and have a place in the Colombian selection that will be measured at the Copa America of Brazil in June 2019.

However, if you do not stay in Cali, other scenarios are open.

The most normal of all would be his return to Atlético Nacional, a team that he has left on three occasions (once for Argentinos Juniors and twice for the Deportivo Cali) for the few opportunities that he has. he had to become a starter.

However, the verdolagas need an arquero before the exit of Argentine Fernando Monetti and the little confidence that there is in Cristian Vargas.

On the other hand, it was also known that the Independent Santa Fe wanted to use the services of Camilo in case Cali would not use the purchase option. However, this option would be much further away from the economic side.

It was his big year
In 2018, Camilo Vargas made 42 appearances for Cali, a majority figure.

His best performance, no doubt, was in the second leg of the Copa Surmericana Round of 16 match between the Cali team and the Quito University League in Ecuador.

During the 90 minutes, Cali kept the capital to maintain the 1-0 win that extended the game until the shots were set.

In this case, Vargas disguised himself as a hero and withdrew three charges against the Ecuadorians, which helped define the confrontation in favor of the Greens and Whites.

Vargas also played a key role in the league, but was penalized by the team's serious defensive failures during the season.
