The Peruvian's time at the Stadio Artemio Franchi appears to coming to an end after a disagreement with Viola manager Siniša Mihajlović.
And, according to reports in the Florence press, both Liverpool and Arsenal are keen to offer Vargas an exit route in January.

The first game of the weekend is nearly upon in Florence where Fiorentina will take on a resurgent Catania side. After a slow start to their season southerners Catania have achieved noticeable results especially the brilliant 2-1 home victory over Inter Milan last Saturday. Obviously manager Vincenzo Montella will be looking to have his squad continue their run by shooting for another victory in.

A Luis Suarez brace ensured Uruguay's place in the 2011 Copa America at the expense of Peru who ended the game with 10 men after captain Juan Vargas was shown a straight red card after an elbow in the 68th minute.

Luis Suarez showed his uncanny ability off the ball and a lethal finishing touch to get both goals.

Peru's goalie Raul Fernandez spilled Diego Forlan's swerving left footed shot straight to Suarez who finished smartly with an angled drive. Minutes later Alvaro Pereira laid it on a thread for the motoring Suarez who beat the offside trap and the onrushing Fernandez to slide the ball home.

Uruguay is now in the somewhat unenviable position of being regarded as the favorite to win the 2011 Copa America following a remarkable quarterfinal round that saw both Argentina and Brazil crash out on penalties. The Celeste must guard against any kind of letdown after knocking out the hosts on Saturday in a pulsating encounter that will probably go down as the match of the tournament.

Uruguay have sent tournament hosts Argentina crashing out of the 2011 Copa America. Following a 1-1 draw in the latest installment of El Clásico Rioplatense, the Uruguayans kept their nerve in the subsequent penalty shoot-out and went through 5-4 on spot kicks with Carlos Tévez the only one to miss from twelve yards out.

Dos héroes se convirtieron en villanos y con esa metamorfosis tan negativa la Selección de Colombia quedó por fuera de la Copa Américade Argentina-2011 al caer 2-0 con Perú en el estadio Mario Alberto Kempes de Córdoba.
Al minuto 65 Falcao García tuvo la gran oportunidad de hacer más brillante su historia y no sólo la desperdició al perderse el penalti que le cometieron a Dayro Moreno, sino que de paso llenó de ansiedad y casi que le cerró el arco a sus compañeros ante un bien parado y especulativo Perú.

Peru's finishing may have been subpar, but that didn't stop Sergio Markarian's men from grabbing three points and a share of first place in Group C.

Jose Paolo Guerrero scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Mexico on Friday night, a result that tied the Peruvians with Chile for first place in the group with four points apiece.

09.07.2011 - Con gol de Paolo Guerrero (´82), Perú venció (1-0) a México en el Estadio Malvinas Argentinas (Mendoza) y quedó liderando el Grupo C (4 puntos) junto a Chile.
Retardado premio para el que más ambición mostró. El gol de Guerrero sobre el epílogo del partido plasmó en el marcador la leve diferencia de Perú sobre un pálido México que se carga sobre las espaldas de Giovani dos Santos ("no soy el salvador").

Liverpool is one of four clubs still tracking Fiorentina's Juan Vargas, according to the Metro.
The Peruvian winger has been linked with Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus in the past.
But rumours were rife last month that a bid of £13 million had been submitted for the dead-ball specialist from Liverpool, and the player's agent Jorge Cyterszpiler says there is plenty of interest surrounding the player.

Reds manager Kenny Dalglish and director of football Damien Comolli have made signing a new wideman to supply Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez their top priority for the summer transfer window.
Comolli has been monitoring the progress of Menez for some time and the 23-year-old has now indicated he is ready to move to England.

Aston Villa's oft-tattooed new signing, Darren Bent, recently spent some quality time with his fellow fearless-of-the-needle footballer, Fiorentina's Juan Vargas. During an interview with the fine folks of Umbro, Bent spoke of his proud ownership of roughly 20 tattoos. Although we hear it's considered bad luck to have an even number of tatts, we'll take it as we like our non-washable appendage decorations like we do our wine spritzers: in excess.
