According to the local press, the coach has informed key players, including Enzo Pérez, that they are not part of the plans for 2026.

According to an investigation by ESPN, coach Marcelo Gallardo has made a release list with at least 11 names for the next year. Enzo Pérez is among those chosen to leave the Monumental de Núñez stadium.

According to TYC, Marcelo Gallardo has decided to inform several players that they will not remain with the club after the end of the year. The players are Ignacio Fernández, 35, Milton, 37, Gonzalo Martínez, 32, Miguel Ángel Borja, 32, and Enzo Pérez, 39. These players have contracts that expire on December 31, and a renewal option was never considered. Gallardo will confirm to them that they are not part of future plans. Pérez was offered a place in the squad and was informed that the club intended to strengthen the central midfield, which would likely mean he would have less playing time than in 2025. The intention was for him to remain as a leader in the locker room, holding a leadership position without being the official captain, a role similar to the one Leonardo Ponzio had in his final years. However, Pérez may have other plans, which is the stated reason he would depart from the club.

According to TYC, Enzo Pérez would not continue with his current team.
