Vargas initially played as a full back and was heavily criticised for his inconsistent performances and his lack of defensive abilities. When he was moved further forward however, into more offensive midfield roles, Vargas began to shine. Playing either as a left winger, as a holding midfielder or even as a trequartista, the Peruvian shined and he particularly excelled with his crossing abilities, long shots and free kicks.
Vargas helped Fiorentina to the knock out stages of the Champions League in 2010 after helping to beat Liverpool in the group stages, and has become a crucial figure for the Italian club. In recent days, the Italian press have suggested that Liverpool have offered €13million for the player, although Vargas was quick to deny such speculation:
“The rumours do not interest me. I am under contract with the Viola and I intend to respect it. All I am thinking about is finishing off the season well, which has been conditioned by injuries.”
The midfielder has two years left on his contract but with Fiorentina struggling in 10th in Serie A, and with no hope of European football next season, the Florence club may still be tempted to sell.

Yup good player with great crosses and pace.i cant realise how he hasnt gone to a “better” team.i mean Milan,Inter,Juventus have a better left back??bring him here at Liverpool please.YNWA
Yet another press signing, give me strength.
great player. but another press signing. only problem would be too expensive and only 3 years left at his peak.
Sorry, he is not that good. Ive seen him play in more than a few games, he is sloppy on the ball, loses it quite often, and has a temper on him. We need someone who not only has pace, but can beat players consistently. If we are looking at quality wingers, move on. He would have been good for Roy…
NESV will not sanction this signing cause this guy has only a few years left at his peak. Players from Italy usually don’t do too well in the Premier League and he could just end up like Dosenna. Give Jovanovic a run of games on the left until the end of the season.
