Clean sheets

5.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 24 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 40, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 10.2, Pérez carries the 64th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Liga Profesional Argentina of 66. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
