According to Mundo Deportivo, Espanyol has communicated that Hugo Pérez is departing to Torreense of the Portuguese Segunda División. Espanyol specifies that it reserves economic rights linked to a possible future sale, as well as bonuses related to performance. Pérez joined Espanyol last summer on a free transfer from Villarreal. Torreense will participate in the next edition of the Europa League as a result of winning the latest Taça de Portugal.

Monchi revealed that the transfer of Hugo Pérez to Torreense is quite advanced and that the deal is being finalized, noting that negotiations involve third parties who also have rights.

Spanish central defender Hugo Pérez, 23, will sign a three-season contract with Torreense, which is valid until 2029. The signing is part of the club strengthening its squad for a new season that will include playing in the UEFA Europa League. Last season, Pérez played a total of 18 matches for Huesca in LaLiga 2 and Gimnàstic in Spain's third tier. He was contractually linked to Espanyol, which will preserve a percentage of his rights. In his youth career, Pérez was with Espanyol and Alavés, and as a senior, he was later part of Villarreal but did not play for the main team.
