Maximo Perrone is developing at Como but his future may lie away from Manchester City | OneFootball

One Manchester City player who has always appeared destined for a successful career is young midfielder Maximo Perrone. The Argentinian midfielder has all of the tools and talent required to make it at the top level. With his eye for a pass and an ability to drift into the box, there are shades of Ilkay Gundogan in the way Perrone plays. He has impressed this season on loan at Como. With Manchester City amid a rebuild, there could be a role for Perrone to play in Pep Guardiola’s squad for next season.

But the question appears to be does Maximo Perrone’s future lie at Manchester City? That’s the question going forward. We saw in February that the young midfielder is eager to remain at Como beyond this season. If that remains the case at the end of the season then it’s likely that Manchester City will sell the young midfielder. If Como can afford to complete a deal to sign Perrone remains to be seen. But on the pitch, Maximo Perrone is developing as a player, so you do feel that he could slot into Pep Guardiola’s squad for next season.

Perrone’s development as a player was on display in Como’s last match. Como drew 1-all with Venezia and Perrone pulled the strings in midfield. The young midfielder oozed class in midfield and his ability in possession was key to Como’s performance. In statistics sourced from SofaScore Perrone completed 51/55 passes for the game. He controlled the game for Como from midfield. He also won 8/10 ground duels so his ability in a challenge was also on display. Playing as a defensive midfielder Perrone was one of the best player’s on the pitch. Unfortunately, Como didn’t pick up a victory over Venezia, but the young Manchester City midfielder showed just how far his game has developed with a fine performance.

Maximo Perrone is developing as a player at Como. That was evident on the weekend. It has always seemed that he would develop into a quality player in time. But whether or not he has a future at Manchester City remains to be seen. But based on what Perrone showed at the weekend he will be a good player somewhere. It’s just a matter of where he plays next season that needs to be settled.
