Tigres has shown interest in Leonel Pérez, a 21-year-old Argentine defensive midfielder from Huracán, as they look to reinforce their midfield for the Clausura 2026. The club is analyzing options after finishing as runners-up in the Apertura 2025 and following the departure of Sebastián Córdova. Pérez joined Huracán in January 2025 and it is reported that he is the leading candidate among three alternatives being considered by Tigres. The player's brilliant 2025 season led to him renewing his contract with Huracán until 2028. Despite this renewal, Tigres continues to monitor his performance, viewing the potential signing as a future investment. His current market value is €6.00m, according to Transfermarkt. At present, no formal offer has been made.
