Maximo Perrone joins Como FC from Man City on four-year contract

Argentine midfielder Maximo Perrone signs four-year deal with Como FC after leaving Manchester City, following successful loan spells in Spain and Italy.

"I’m confident we’ll enjoy many more great moments together in the future – Maximo Perrone"

Como, July 18

Maximo Perrone has joined Italian side Como FC on a permanent deal. The 21-year-old has signed a contract with the club until 2029. He spent three years at Manchester City after signing from Argentinian outfit Velez Sarsfield in 2022.

“I’m so pleased to officially be staying at Como. I really got on well with everyone, the coach, my teammates, the city, and the fans last year. I’m confident we’ll enjoy many more great moments together in the future,” said Perrone to Como 1907’s media team.

The 22-year-old’s stint at the Etihad saw him make two appearances for Pep Guardiola in 2022/23, making him a part of City’s historic Treble-winning team.

Perrone’s other accolade saw him celebrate City’s 2023 Super Cup win over Sevilla before he joined Las Palmas on loan for the entirety of the 2023/24 season.

“My time at Manchester City has come to an end but I’d like to thank everyone at the Club for their support and guidance during my invaluable time at the CFA.

“I am excited for this new adventure and I wish Pep Guardiola and the players every success in the future,” added Perrone while speaking to Manchester City’s media team.

The young defensive midfielder gained valuable experience during the loan stint, making a total of 30 appearances for the La Liga side who finished 16th.

The most recent campaign saw the Argentine join Como on loan. Whilst he made slightly less appearances, 26 due to an injury, Perrone totalled more minutes than his previous loan spell.

He assisted three goals in Como’s Serie A league fight which saw them place 10th. His tenacity, versatility and ability to read the game impressed Head Coach Cesc Fabregas and will now see Perrone link up with Como on a permanent deal.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Máxi to the Como family on a permanent deal. He settled in quickly last season, understood exactly how we want to play, and became a key figure in the team,” said head coach Cesc Fàbregas.

Interesting to see an Argentine player choosing Italy over England. The football culture there must be amazing. Hope some Indian players get such opportunities soon 🇮🇳⚽

Four-year contract shows Como really believes in him. That's the kind of stability young players need. Meanwhile in India, our clubs change squads every season like IPL teams 😅

While it's great to see young talent moving, I wish the article had more details about the transfer fee. As fans, we deserve transparency about these financial aspects.
