Tomás Pérez arrives in Brazil: Porto mates praise Atlético Mineiro | OneFootball

Tomás Pérez is already in Brazil and, upon arrival, spoke with the Brazilian media. The 20-year-old Argentine midfielder will undergo the necessary medical examinations before signing a one-year loan contract with Atlético Mineiro, on loan from FC Porto.

“Atlético showed a lot of interest in me, and that convinced me. I talked to people from the club and everyone spoke very well with me. I also spoke with players who were my teammates at FC Porto, many of whom were Brazilian, and they all spoke very highly of the club,” said the U-20 World Cup runner-up, among other things, as he introduced himself.

“I have always played as a defensive midfielder, but I can play different positions, wherever the team and the coach need. First, I have to complete all the exams, sort out a few things, and I hope everything gets resolved quickly,” he added.

Tomás Pérez will be presented soon. The loan agreement includes a purchase option for Atlético Mineiro, for an amount around 6 million euros, which will guarantee the club 80 percent of the midfielder's economic rights. There will also be a clause allowing FC Porto to recall the Argentine at the end of the season in Portugal.
