Official: Tomás Pérez loaned by FC Porto to Atlético Mineiro | OneFootball

The emblem of Minas Gerais can acquire 80% of the economic rights of the player for five million euros (ME) until May, a value that increases by 500 thousand euros if the signing is formalized after this deadline.

The 'blue and whites', in a note on their official website, added that the operation did not involve any intermediary costs.

Tomás Pérez, 20 years old, joined FC Porto at the close of the January transfer window last season, coming from Newell's Old Boys, Argentina, to strengthen Porto's midfield after Nico González's departure to Manchester City.

Under the technical command of compatriot Martín Anselmi, he played eight games for the 'blue and whites' in the second half of the 2024/25 season, but never managed to establish himself as a regular choice.

This season, with the arrival of Francesco Farioli as head coach, the player lost even more space and did not accumulate any minutes for the main squad, having played five times for the B team.

Faced with strong competition from Alan Varela and Pablo Rosario in Porto's 'number six' position, the young international will seek to regain match rhythm upon his return to South American football.

Without Tomás Pérez, FC Porto, leader of the Primeira Liga with 59 points, is preparing to host Rio Ave, 15th place with 20 points, in a match scheduled for 20:30 on Sunday, corresponding to the 23rd round of the competition.
