Nehuén Pérez: Olympic captain of Argentina and learning at Granada

Nehuén Pérez been during two games against Japan the captain of the Argentine Olympic team. Ledesma, Cádiz goalkeeper, has also been there. These two encounters against the country of the ‘Rising Sun’ resulted in 0-0 and an Albiceleste defeat, 3-0, and an exhibition by Kubo, a Getafe player on loan from Real Madrid.

This 1.86-meter center-back, who will turn 21 on June 24, signed for Atlético in the summer of 2018 tto pay Argentinos Juniors an amount close to three million euros. Nehuén counted his performances with the lower echelons of Argentina for true exhibitions. The rojiblanco club, to shore up their formation, accepted their assignment to Granada.

Possibly, everything they expected in the Metropolitan entity has not participated. There are seven league games, six in the Europa League and five in the Copa del Rey. 18 matches of the 45 officials that Granada has played in this fast-paced season. In fact, it has had tough competitors in this area. Domingos Duarte is international with Portugal and one of the best center-backs in the League and Germán is indisputable. Another tough competitor is Vallejo, a player on loan from Real Madrid. We must say that Nehuén has not unleashed every time he was called up by Diego Martínez.

Cádiz wanted to sign him

During the last winter market, Cádiz, which was looking for a central, became interested in Nehuén. An option that seemed to have the blessings of Atléticor in case in the Silver Cup this player increased his prominence. But this operation only depended on Granada and this club never contemplated parting with it due to the demands of the tremendous calendar and the plague of injuries resulting from such a high rate. With everything and with that Nehuén Pérez shows symptoms of evolution and that his definitive explosion is closer. Atlético holds him in good esteem and Granada discards him for their future in the short and medium term.

Nehúen is one of the four international exports from Granada in this international window. The other three are Duarte and Rui Silva (Portugal) and Eteki (Cameroon).
