Universidad de Chile has shaken up the national market by confirming the return of one of its greatest historical icons: Eduardo Vargas. After 14 years playing on the world’s most important football stages, the multi-champion striker rejoins the "Romántico Viajero" to contribute his class and goal-scoring ability to the challenges of the 2026 season.
An indelible mark on the club
Vargas’s history in the blue jersey is legendary. In his previous spell (2010-2011), he played 79 matches and scored 31 goals, leading the team to back-to-back national championships and the historic 2011 Copa Sudamericana. In that continental tournament, "Turboman" set a still-standing record as the top scorer in a single edition with 11 goals, establishing himself as a key figure in the club’s golden era.
International experience at the service of the squad
Vargas arrives after an extensive journey through elite leagues, including stints at Napoli, Valencia, Hoffenheim, and a successful spell at Atlético Mineiro. In addition, his legacy with the Chilean National Team, where he is a two-time Copa América champion and historic top scorer, cements his legendary status. After a brief stint at Audax Italiano in 2025, the striker returns home, mature and ready to pursue new titles with the club he loves.
