Manchester City

On 23 January 2023, Perrone signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with Manchester City for around £8m, and joined the club following the conclusion of the 2023 South American U-20 Championship.[5][6] On 25 February, he made his Premier League debut in a 4–1 away win over Bournemouth, replacing Erling Haaland in the 72nd minute.[7]

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]

International career

Perrone represented Argentina at under-16 and under-20 levels.[13] 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.[14] With only one win from the remaining three matches, Argentina failed to reach the knockouts of the tournament for the first time since 2013.[15] 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 win against Guatemala.[16] Argentina were eliminated in the round of 16, losing 2–0 to Nigeria, with Perrone being left on the bench.[17]

In March 2023, he received his first call-up to the Argentina senior national team by head coach Lionel Scaloni for two friendly matches against Panama and Curaçao.[18]
