The UD Las Palmas de Xavi Garcia Pepper hoping that this week will clear up the mystery of the midfielder’s arrival in the Canary Islands from Manchester City Maximo Perrone, signed in January 2023 from Vélez Sarsfield for 9 million euros. Pimienta said over the weekend that the yellow team has a height deficit “front and back.” Perrone measures in at 1.77
City paid around €9m for the 20-year-old, who arrived with a five and a half year contract until June 2028. “The Argentinian player I really want to join the Gran Canaria team on loan and there is a predisposition on all sides”, reports the island’s digital website UDLasPalmas.net.
In January 2023, The Atlantic argued that Perrone would remain in Manchester, “but it is unlikely that he will compete against Rodri and Kalvin Phillips for a place in Guardiola’s XI”.
UDLasPalmas.net maintains that Perrone’s arrival in the Canary Islands “could be block Girona and its strategic relationship with Manchester City. In any case, the Argentine is attracted to the option of Las Palmas”.
Perrone, who is currently competing in the South American Under-20s with Argentina, made it clear that he did not want to be loaned out by any of the clubs interested in his services and therefore stayed at the Etihad Stadium for the remainder of last season. UD Las Palmas has always had good chemistry with Argentine players from Brindisi to Turu Flores passing through Carnevali, having fixed his residence in the capital of Gran Canaria.
