He played the full 90 minutes of a 0–0 league draw against Metropolitanos.[2][3] He scored his first goal just over three months later, netting the game-winner during a 1–0 victory over Estudiantes de Caracas on 6 April.[4] He received great praise for his performance from the Venezuelan media.[5][6] By the end of the season, he had begun to attract international attention.[7]

In June 2019, Pérez was loaned out to Uruguayan Primera División club Boston River on a one-year deal.[8]

International career

Pérez was called up to the Venezuela national under-20 team in August 2018 for friendlies in the United States and in Qatar.[9] He made his youth international debut on 10 September against Qatar.[10][11] He then traveled with the team to Spain for a handful of friendlies in preparation for the 2019 South American U-20 Championship.[12]
