Buenos Aires, Dec 1 (NA) - River Plate midfielder Enzo Pérez will have to leave the club in the next transfer window as he will not be considered by coach Marcelo Gallardo, and Nacional de Montevideo would be interested in signing the player. Just like in 2023, 'Bolso' has once again set its sights on the 39-year-old midfielder, although on that occasion the player decided to leave the Núñez team, then coached by Martín Demichelis, to sign with Estudiantes de La Plata. According to the Argentine News Agency, Nacional of Uruguay, a three-time Copa Libertadores winner (1971, 1980, 1988) and recent national champion, would try to add the experienced midfielder to add hierarchy to the squad for the next edition of the continent's most important tournament. While it is a remote possibility, there is a chance that Pérez could return to 'Pincha', the club where he showed a great level and was key to the conquests of the League Cup and the Champions Trophy. 'I will be grateful to the people of River for the rest of my life and I will miss them so much,' Pérez had declared upon leaving the 'Millonario' squad. After a year and with Gallardo in charge of River, the Mendoza native decided to return to 'Banda', but was far from emulating his performance in his previous cycle. In this regard, it was 'Muñeco' himself who communicated to the midfielder the decision not to count on him for the next campaign. In this way, Enzo Pérez will have to analyze the different offers for 2026. 'Today a great stage of love that I dreamed of since my childhood ends. I always dreamed of playing with this jersey, I always dreamed of playing in this club.'
