Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pérez.
Judged on this season alone, Pérez graded 35 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 27th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga, on 5 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances (0.719 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 63 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 37th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the La Liga. At 32 Pérez is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 25.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pérez missed 10 games through injury (muscle, contusion, injured doubtful) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
5 goals in 25 appearances (0.2 per game) for an upper-table side. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 9 goal contributions (0.36 per appearance).
With a Rating of 34.3, Pérez carries the 37th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the La Liga of 44. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.72 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~63), then tapers with age. At 32, Pérez sits on 25.2, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Pérez's projected Rating — 34.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
