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 that 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 last season’s January transfer window, coming from Newell’s Old Boys, Argentina, to strengthen Porto’s midfield after the departure of Nico González to Manchester City.

Under the technical guidance of his compatriot Martín Anselmi, he played eight games for the ‘blue and whites’ in the second half of the 2024/25 season, but was never able 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 play a single minute for the main squad, having featured 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 look to regain match fitness on his return to South American football.

Without Tomás Pérez, FC Porto, leaders of the Primeira Liga with 59 points, are preparing to host Rio Ave, 15th place with 20 points, a match scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, for the 23rd round of the competition.
