Eduardo Vargas Set for U de Chile Return After Nicolás Peric Leaks Reveal Video

Eduardo Vargas is on the verge of returning to Universidad de Chile, and former goalkeeper Nicolás Peric may have spoiled the surprise. Speaking on Pauta de Juego, Peric revealed that the club invited him to take part in Vargas’s announcement video, confirming the long-anticipated move. As reported by RedGol, the official unveiling is scheduled for Friday.

Vargas is already back in Chile after parting ways with Nacional of Uruguay. His comeback is shaping up to be the marquee signing of the Chilean transfer window. Peric, who conceded Vargas’s last goal for the club, was chosen to feature in the presentation video—a nostalgic nod to the striker’s iconic past.

Although the club has yet to confirm the deal on social media, sources say it’s only a matter of hours before the official announcement. Vargas is expected to be registered for the Copa Sudamericana.

The 2011 Sudamericana hero returns more than a decade after his breakout campaign, bringing hope to fans eager for a resurgence. With this emotional homecoming, Universidad de Chile adds not just a proven scorer but a symbol of its golden era.
