Udinese have officially announced the departure of Nehuen Perez to FC Porto after three successful seasons with the Italian club. The Argentine defender, born in 2000, leaves Udinese having made 97 appearances and scored 4 goals during his tenure.
The transfer has been structured as a loan with an obligation to buy, subject to certain conditions being met. This arrangement allows Porto to secure the services of the talented center-back while potentially spreading the financial commitment over time.
In their official statement, Udinese expressed their gratitude to Perez, saying:
“After more than three seasons and 97 appearances adorned with 4 goals, Nehuen Perez leaves Udinese. During these years in black and white, Perez has completed his development, earning several call-ups to the Argentine national team and becoming one of the best young defenders in Serie A.”
The club added a personal touch to their farewell:
“To Nehuen goes our thanks for the attachment to our colors he has always shown and our best wishes for his new adventure. Thank you, Nehuen.”
Perez’s time at Udinese has been marked by significant growth and achievement. His performances not only caught the eye of the national team selectors but also established him as one of the most promising defensive talents in Italian football.
