According to TYC, Argentine defensive midfielder Enzo Pérez is departing from Argentinos Juniors and may potentially return to Deportivo Maipú. Pérez, who is 40 years old, is set to terminate his contract with Argentinos Juniors, and the move could be finalized this week. His departure after six months is due to his failure to establish himself in the team, where he made 5 appearances in the domestic league, and is also influenced by an ankle sprain, the club's setback in international competition, and the need to reduce the wage bill.

Pérez, who arrived as a free agent from River in January, is now expected to return to Deportivo Maipú, the club where he began his career and has stated he wants to retire. The player was recently seen wearing Deportivo Maipú shorts during a friendly game with friends. The midfielder has 26 caps and one goal for Argentina. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €100k.
