Maximo Perrone completes permanent transfer from Manchester City to Como

Maximo Perrone has completed a permanent transfer from Manchester City to Serie A club Como, signing a contract until 2029. The 22-year-old Argentine midfielder spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Como, making 26 appearances and contributing three assists, which impressed head coach Cesc Fàbregas. Perrone, who joined Manchester City in 2023 from Velez Sarsfield but only made two appearances for the club, previously spent a season on loan at Las Palmas in La Liga. Como secured Perrone’s services for a fee reportedly worth up to €15 million, including a 30% sell-on clause and a buy-back option for Manchester City. Perrone expressed his gratitude toward Manchester City and Pep Guardiola while looking forward to his new chapter at Como, where he quickly became a key figure in the midfield during his loan spell. Como finished 10th in Serie A last season, their first campaign in Italy’s top flight for 21 years, and Perrone’s arrival is seen as a vital part of the club’s ambition to build a competitive squad.
