Perrone has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with Manchester City after transferring from Velez Sarsfield, the club
announced Monday.
ANALYSISPerrone has wracked up three goals and two assists from defensive midfield in 33 appearances across the Argentine Primera Division and the Copa Libertadores since breaking into Velez Sarsfield's senior team in 2022, and the 20-year-old is now moving to Manchester City. He should start out purely as cover for
Rodri,
Ilkay Gundogan and
Kalvin Phillips but he could grow into a starter for this team over time as he's signed on through the 2027/28 campaign.
