Juan Pablo Vargas
Juan Pablo Vargas Campos (born 6 June 1995) is a Costa Rican professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Categoría Primera A club Millonarios and the Costa Rica national team.
Born in Sarchí, Alajuela, Vargas came through the academy at Liga Deportiva Alajuelense and was promoted to the main squad by coach Óscar Ramírez on 30 May 2013, along with the other youth Ronald Matarrita and Steve Garita. He made his first team debut in the 2013 Costa Rican Cup on 7 July, coming on as a late substitute in a 2–1 away loss against UCR; four days later he scored his first professional goal, netting his team's last in a 3–1 home win against the same opponent.
Vargas was mainly a backup option during the following years, only making his league debut on 18 February 2015 by starting in a 2–1 home loss against Limón. During the 2015–16 season, he only featured in five matches.
On 8 June 2016, Vargas signed a contract with Herediano, and was immediately loaned to Belén for the entire 2016–17 season. In September, former side Alajuelense complained about his transfer to Herediano, after his federative rights were assigned to Jacó Rays before his loan to Belén; Alajuelense and Herediano only reached an agreement in June 2017, after Alajuelense was assured 50% of a transfer to any foreign club.
In December 2016, Vargas went on a trial at Ascenso MX side Lobos BUAP, but nothing came of it. He was an undisputed starter for Belén during the season, scoring four goals in 34 league appearances.
In May 2017, Vargas returned to Herediano. A backup option during the 2017 Apertura, he became a first-choice during the 2018 Clausura; his side finished second in both tournaments, losing both in the Finals.
On 1 August 2018, Vargas moved abroad and joined Categoría Primera A side Deportes Tolima on loan. He failed to make an appearance during the remainder of the year, and only made his debut for the club on 23 January 2019, replacing Luis González late into a 2–1 away win over Atlético Junior, for the year's Superliga Colombiana.
Vargas became a regular starter for Tolima before suffering a knee injury in July 2019, which kept him out for nearly three months. He left the club in December, after his loan expired.
