Manchester City

On 23 January 2023, Perrone signed a contract for five-and-a-half year with Manchester City for around £8m, and joined the club following the end of the 2023 South American U-20 Championship.[5][6]

On 25 February, he made his Premier League debut in a 4–1 away victory against Bournemouth, replacing Erling Haaland in the 72nd minute.[7] He made his only other competitive appearance for City in a 3-0 FA Cup fifth victory at Bristol City, replacing Bernardo Silva in the 88th minute.[citation needed]

On 23 August, Perrone joined La Liga club Las Palmas on loan for the rest of the 2023–24 season.[8][9][10]

Como

On 25 August 2024, Serie A club Como announced the signing of Perrone on loan for the 2024–25 season with an option for the loan to be extended.[11][12]

On 18 July 2025, Perrone joined Como permanently, signing a four-year contract.[13][14]

International career

[edit]

Born in Argentina, Perrone is of Italian descent.[15] He represented Argentina at under-16 and under-20 levels.[16]

He was part of the squad that was sent to the 2023 South American U-20 Championship. Perrone scored in Argentina's group stage opener against Paraguay, which ended as a 2–1 defeat.[17] With only one victory from the remaining three matches, Argentina failed to reach the knockout stages of the tournament for the first time since 2013.[18][19]

Perrone was once again included in Argentina's squad for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he scored the third goal in a 3–0 group stage victory against Guatemala.[20] Argentina were eliminated in the round of 16, losing 2–0 against Nigeria, with Perrone being left on the bench.[21]

In March 2023, Perrone received his first call-up to the Argentina senior national team by coach Lionel Scaloni for two friendly matches against Panama and Curaçao.[22] He debuted in a friendly match against Angola on 14 November 2025.[23]
