The 22-year-old midfielder, Máximo Perrone, a key figure for Como 1907 in Serie A, has regained his footing after an irregular period in Europe and has earned his place back in the Argentina national team. The central midfielder will be under Scaloni's command for the third time. Previously, he was called up in March 2023 for friendlies against Panama and Curaçao, and was part of the squad for the March FIFA date against Brazil and Uruguay, although he has yet to make his official debut. Perrone's football education took place in the youth academy of Vélez. He debuted in the first team on March 6, 2022, and within a few months, he made the midfield his own: 33 matches were enough to show his game reading, through passes, and personality. He became a central piece in the midfield with 36 matches, over 2,500 minutes, 1 goal, and 4 assists, in addition to a key contribution to circulation and high pressing. With maturity and experience, Perrone arrives in his best moment. This is not a gamble; it is the consolidation of a player who understood the time, waited for his chance, and now earns his place. In Italy, he found what many young players need: continuity, a clear role, and confidence. To accumulate minutes, in August 2023 he was loaned to Las Palmas in Spain. Scaloni's call-up for the November friendly brought a reappearance that many had been waiting for: that of Máximo Perrone. That impact caught the attention of Manchester City, which bought his contract in January 2023. Guardiola included him in the Premier League and Champions League lists, but his space in the team was minimal.
