Former Benfica star under Jorge Jesus making headlines in Argentina | OneFootball

Enzo Pérez may lead a new change in Argentina. The footballer who worked alongside Jorge Jesus at Benfica is now on his way to Estudiantes de La Plata, leaving River Plate. Interestingly, in 2024, the midfielder had made exactly the opposite journey to the one he is about to undertake now.

The newspaper Record writes in this weekend's edition that the former Eagles' midfielder, one of Jorge Jesus's trusted men, is free in the market after being informed by River's coach, Marcelo Gallardo, that he is not in the club's plans for 2026.

Following this news, the experienced 39-year-old player has become available in the transfer market and rumors suggest he may return to Estudiantes, the club he left in 2024 to represent the Argentine giant.

The move has not yet been confirmed, so it is not possible to guarantee that Enzo Pérez's future will indeed involve a reunion with the La Plata club. However, according to Record, the agreement is well underway, and a confirmation could come in the next few days.

The former Benfica player left the Buenos Aires club after a conflict with Martín Demichelis, the current coach of Rayados de Monterrey. During his time with Estudiantes de La Plata, he won two trophies: the Copa de la Liga Profesional and the Trofeo de Campeones.
