According to Globo.com, Atlético-MG has informed that Tomás Pérez, aged 20, is expected in Belo Horizonte this Thursday for medical examinations and to sign a contract with the club, pending approval. Pérez was at Porto since the previous season, playing in only 13 games for the Portuguese club's B team. He will be the seventh reinforcement for Atlético-MG in the 2026 season.

Tomás Pérez will be on loan from FC Porto to Atlético Mineiro until the end of the 2026 calendar year. According to A BOLA, the under-20 Argentine international did not participate in FC Porto's Thursday morning training session. He will travel to Brazil and will be presented in the coming days as a new signing for Atlético Mineiro.

A preliminary agreement has been reached between FC Porto and Atlético Mineiro for Argentine defensive midfielder Tomás Pérez. Pérez is expected to leave FC Porto and move to the Brazilian club on loan. The agreement includes an option to buy set at around 6 million euros for 80% of his rights.

Tomás Pérez could leave FC Porto as he is not in the plans of coach Francesco Farioli, and the still-open Brazilian market is a potential destination. Atlético Mineiro, a club from Brazil's top division, is monitoring the 20-year-old Argentine defensive midfielder and has made an inquiry. Atlético Mineiro has not yet made a concrete move to FC Porto's management, but an attempt to sign the player is not ruled out.
