In the coming days, the player will arrive in Italy and undergo a medical examination to sign his contract with Napoli. Pereyra joined Boca when he was just seven years old and played in the Sixth Division until his move to Europe through a legal mechanism that is increasingly common in Argentine football. Following the case of Luca Scarlato, who left River to go to Europe at the end of 2025, the Argentine Football Association (AFA) decided not to call up players to the youth national teams who have left their clubs under the 'patria potestad' law. The proposal was unanimously approved by all clubs and the Executive Committee, who seek to curb this practice in the youth categories. The young forward Milton Pereyra will play for Napoli in Italy after leaving Boca's youth ranks through the 'patria potestad' law. According to the Argentine News Agency, the player decided to emigrate to Europe using this legal figure, leaving his club without economic remuneration.
