Timeline
On December 2016, the agent of Venezuelan attacking midfielder was in talks with the administration of AEK over his client's contract extension. The current contract of 30-year-old international expires at the end of 2016–17 season, and his agent wanted to ask technical director of the club Daniel Majstorovic if they are interested in extending it before January 2017 or not. On 22 April 2017, he received an offer for a two-year contract extension, with an annual fee of €300,000. Despite his team's desire to maintain his services, Vargas will leave the club as he isn't pleased with either the offer or his team role. After the announcement of his upcoming departure he was heavily linked with Panathinaikos.
In September 2017, Vargas signed for Australian A-League club, Newcastle Jets on a one-year deal as their marquee player for the 2017–18 season. In a Round 3 clash with the Brisbane Roar, Vargas suffered a compound fracture of the leg, ruling him out for a large part of the season, a short time in to his A-League career. Four months later, he returned. He appeared in Newcastle’s Grand Final loss to Melbourne Victory.
On 6 January 2016, AEK won against Levadiakos in their first leg Greek Cup tie and are close to qualifying for the last eight of the tournament. Vargas scored a wonderful goal sealing his club victory. On 24 January 2016, thanks to a strike by Venezuelan midfielder, AEK won 1–0 against PAOK and remain at the second Super League position, behind the previous year's champions Olympiacos. Vargas was impressive in January 2016, scoring four times, and was honored by magazine Diario Goleador as the best Venezuelan footballer of the month. AEK Athens manager Gustavo Poyet used the 29-year-old international mostly as right winger, which helped him scoring more and also creating goals for his teammates.
On 13 February 2016, Vargas scoring after Diego Buonanotte's missed penalty kick, helping his club to escape with a 1–0 win against the undefeated champions Olympiacos. It was the key player coming as a substitute in the derby whereas referee sent off visitors' Alberto Botia, Luka Milivojević (for the penalty incident) and home team's Rodrigo Galo Brito, while Felipe Pardo suffered a strain injury during first half. It was named Man of the match. On 28 February 2016, thanks to a free kick from Vargas, who was also the only scorer against PAOK and Olympiacos, AEK beat rivals Panathinaikos 1–0. Greek Cup's final against Olympiakos was most likely the last appearance of Vargas in season, as the 29-year-old international has suffered a left adductor strain injury.
As AEK Athens officially announced that Vargas had signed a contract with his new team. The 28-year-old forward came to Athens and a few hours later he signed his two-year contract with his new team. On 22 August 2015, he made his debut with the club in a 3–0 home win against Platanias scoring the second goal. On 13 November 2015, AEK's midfielder suspended for three games after his red card in a Super League game. The Venezuelan was sent off in the last moments of first half against Asteras Tripolis for hitting an opponent.
On 28 July 2014, Vargas signed a one-year contract with the Super Lig side club Balıkesirspor.

However, on 26 October he fell injured again on the same knee, in a cup match which Anderlecht lost against Rupel Boom. Kanu fed the ball to Vargas down the left wing, and the Venezuelan looked smooth and he moved infield past his marker. He then tried, and failed, to whip a right-footed cross into the area, but that mattered little as he went down gripping his left knee in obvious, spine-tingling pain. The diagnosis was four months out by the medical staff.
Vargas scored his first goal for Newcastle in their 1–1 draw with Adelaide United FC in Round 2 of the 2018–19 season.

Vargas had an excellent performance, almost gave the Venezuelans the lead in the 27th minute, forcing David Ospina to make a fine reflex save.

He was expected to be out for over six months, missing the chance of playing with his national team in the 2011 Copa América.
