Nehuén Pérez continues to enjoy his holidays while waiting for Atlético to inform him if he will have a place in the first squad for next season. The central defender has shone during his assignment at the Portuguese Famalicao, where he played 2,316 minutes in 26 games after missing a stretch of the season to play the Pre-Olympic with Argentina, leading behind to finish first in the standings and earning a place in the next Olympic Games.
Atlético has four category centers: Giménez, Savic, Felipe and Hermoso and currently the doors of Nehuén are closed. However, one of them might come out, with the ballots put in Beautiful. The ‘22’ did not have the desired prominence in his signing from Espanyol and could mean an important income to undertake signings with more needs in front of goal and in midfield. It would be there when Nehuén could stay. Of course, it has a handicap, since it is extra-community, quota occupied by the own Felipe, Lodi and Arias. The Colombian is on Everton's agenda and it seems that will be the right back chosen by Atlético to start, so that problem would end.
Nehuén Pérez, only 20 years old, was close to being traded to Ajax for 25 million before the break, but the new situation changed everything. In the list of Golden Boy nominees (Best U21 Player of the Year), an award that João Félix won last season, continues to collect suitors. Bayer Leverkusen would be the last to ask about his situation. But everything will depend on whether there is any way out behind, since Nehuén is the alternative.
