In an interview after the historic night he experienced with Estudiantes, Enzo Pérez confirmed that he will not renew with Estudiantes and a possibility was opened with River.
Students from La Plata lived a historic night by becoming champion of the Champions Trophy, after beating Vélez 3-0 at the Madre de Ciudades Stadium in Santiago del Estero. The goals of Tomás Marchiori (against), Alexis Manyoma and Guido Carrillo ensured the victory for the team led by Eduardo Domínguez, which thus added its second title in 2024, after having won the League Cup. However, the joy of victory for Pincha fans was marked by important news: Enzo Pérez, one of the figures and pillars of the team, confirmed that he will not continue at the club next season.

In an interview in the mixed zone of the stadium after the game, the 38-year-old midfielder from Mendoza explained the reasons behind his decision:


“As I said from the beginning, My decision was going to depend on how the end came. This week I was able to speak with the leaders, with Sebastián (Verón) and with Eduardo (Domínguez). I just communicated it to the group, since I didn’t want to do it before so we could concentrate on the game. I have made the decision not to continue in the club,” commented the footballer after winning the title.
Pérez, whose contract with Estudiantes ends at the end of the year, expressed his gratitude to the fans and the institution for the support received in what was his third stage with the La Plata club. “I arrived at the club in 2007, then in 2012, and again in 2024. Thank you all for the respect, support and affection. “I’m not going to renew, this was my last game with this shirt.” stated the midfielder.

After a historic victory, Enzo Pérez confirmed that he is leaving Estudiantes
Enzo Pérez to River?
The confirmation of his departure from Estudiantes fueled rumors about a possible return to River Plate, where he played between 2017 and 2023 and became a key player under the direction of Marcelo Gallardo. During his time in Núñez, Pérez won 10 titles, including the historic Copa Libertadores won in Madrid, where River defeated Boca 3-1 after drawing 2-2 in the first leg at La Bombonera.
Although his entourage had denied any formal contact with the River leadership in November, Pérez had an emotional reunion with Gallardo during the match between Estudiantes and River at Estadio Uno, valid for the Professional League, in which both merged in a hug. The midfielder, who left an indelible mark on the Núñez club, could be very close to returning to River after his abrupt departure when Martín Demichelis was in charge of the first team.
