On the other hand, the Ambassadors are looking to add further reinforcements in December and are close to signing a third midfielder. In addition, they are negotiating for another midfielder, Rodrigo Ureña, and are looking for a central defender to fill the Costa Rican’s position, which has left a big gap.
Juan Pablo Vargas’ departure from Millonarios came after signing a contract with Puebla FC of Liga MX, ending a five-year cycle with the Bogotá club. The Costa Rican defender, international in his national team, decided to terminate his contract and accepted the challenge of continuing his career in Mexican football, a decision that represents a relevant change for the defensive structure of the blue team.
According to journalist Mariano Olsen Vargas initially signed with Puebla for one year. However, the official founding of the club is still pending and could take until the end of 2027. After signing, the player was immediately called up for a behind-closed-doors match by his new team’s coaching staff, marking the beginning of his adaptation to Mexican football.
During his time at Millonarios, the central defender established himself as a key figure in the defense. The Bogota club emphasized in a statement that “since his arrival, he stood out for his commitment, his defensive strength and his ability to face the challenges in any competition. His presence on and off the pitch was synonymous with security and character.” In these five years, the Costa Rican contributed to three titles: the Colombia Cup 2022, the BetPlay League 2023 and the Super League 2024, achievements that made him one of the team’s leaders.
Vargas’ departure joins Millonarios’ four other confirmed departures at the end of 2024those were Bruno Sávio, Cristian Cañozales and Ramiro Brochero, in addition to the fact that there are more men left to say goodbye. The board is already working on restructuring the squad for the 2026 season and the Copa Sudamericana.
In this context of changes, Millonarios has officially announced the arrival of Carlos Darwin Quintero and Mateo García and is conducting open negotiations to reinforce other positions, especially left-back.
The club currently has Danovis Banguero, Nicolás Giraldo and Jhoan Hernández in this area, but would like to add more Sebastián Valencia, a 29-year-old winger who excelled in the BetPlay League with Fortaleza, who hit home runs for the first time in the second semester.
Valencia confirmed in an interview with The VBAR snail The There are discussions between his representative and Millonariosand expressed his desire to wear the blue and white jersey. The player, whose rights belong to Leones and who still has a six-month contract with Fortaleza, explained that negotiations between the clubs are going well.
The reconfiguration of the Millonarios squad is a response to both the departure of the likes of Vargas and the need to strengthen the team for the challenges of next season. The club is in the middle of an adjustment process, with the expectation of making new additions and completing ongoing negotiations.
