Maximo Perrone, the promising Argentinian midfielder, has completed a season-long loan move to Serie A newcomers Como for the 2024/25 campaign, Soccernet.football reports.
The 21-year-old, who initially joined Manchester City from Velez Sarsfield, is set to gain further experience under the guidance of former Barcelona and Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas, now the head coach at Como.
Perrone made his debut for Manchester City in March 2022 and quickly became a regular feature in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
However, the young midfielder spent last season on loan with UD Las Palmas in La Liga, where he amassed 30 appearances, honing his skills in the highly competitive Spanish top-flight.
Como’s return to Serie A marks a significant milestone, having secured promotion on the final day of last season after a 21-year absence from Italy’s top tier.
Fabregas, who took over as head coach during the summer, is tasked with steering the club through a challenging start to their new campaign.
Despite the excitement surrounding their Serie A return, Como’s start has been rocky.
A penalty shootout loss to Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia and a heavy 3-0 defeat to Juventus in their league opener have left Fabregas and his squad searching for their first victory.
Como will face Cagliari next at the Unipol Domus, but it remains to be seen if Perrone will be ready for action.
