Argentinos Juniors in talks with Enzo Pérez to strengthen their midfield
The Liga Profesional team is in discussions with experienced midfielder Enzo Pérez, who could join the club on a free transfer. Pérez's contract with River Plate expires on December 31, and manager Marcelo Gallardo has already informed him that he is not part of the club's future plans. At 39 years old, Pérez would be a key reinforcement for Argentinos Juniors, who are looking to improve their performance in the upcoming season.
Enzo Pérez is an Argentine midfielder with an extensive career in football. He has played for teams like Valencia, Benfica, and River Plate, where he won the Copa Libertadores in 2018. This season, he made 37 appearances in all competitions for River Plate. His experience and leadership could be key for Argentinos Juniors.
Raul Sanzotti, Argentinos Juniors' sporting director, confirmed the negotiations with Pérez. "We like the player. Hopefully, at some point, he can be with us - we are talking," he told reporters. Sanzotti also mentioned that the club usually signs contracts based on productivity, which could be a factor in the negotiations with Pérez.
Negotiations are ongoing, and more clarity on Pérez's future at Argentinos Juniors is expected in the coming days. The club aims to strengthen its squad to compete in the Liga Profesional, and the arrival of a player of Pérez's caliber could be a significant step in that direction.
