Maximo Perrone has taken a stand about his future. Once viewed as a cornerstone for Man City, the 22-year-old now forges his own path.
His decision signals a fresh start in Serie A.
After a 29-game loan spell with Las Palmas, Perrone shifted his focus. He joined Como on loan this summer to work under Cesc Fabregas. His move underscores his determination to grow as a player.
Perrone now insists on staying in Serie A with Como. With Nico Gonzalez signing for Man City in January, his chances to serve as Rodri’s understudy dwindled. The young midfielder sees no future waiting for him at Manchester City.
“I want to stay here, grow and learn more with Como,” Perrone declared. He added, “I want to give a hand to my teammates and I’m happy to stay with Cesc. I have an excellent relationship with him. I hope my future is here with Como.” His words leave no doubt about his commitment.

Perrone’s decision comes amid a reshaped transfer strategy at Man City. The club’s signing of Nico Gonzalez removed his long-term prospects at the Etihad. This reality pushed him to seek consistent playing time elsewhere.
On the pitch, Perrone has made his mark. He was seen gesturing during the Serie A clash against Juventus at Stadio G. Sinigaglia on February 07, 2025. He also played a key role in action during the match against Fiorentina at Stadio Artemio Franchi on February 16, 2025.
Controversy still swirls around the transfer circus. Ex-Liverpool star Steven Gerrard once remarked, “I’ve got NO respect for him, he’s even worse than Mario Balotelli!” Such comments add extra spice to an already heated debate about player futures.
Man City now welcomes talents like Omar Marmoush as part of Pep Guardiola’s evolving vision. Meanwhile, Cole Palmer proved that players can shine when given freedom. Perrone’s bold choice reminds us that the beautiful game offers ample opportunities beyond a single club’s shadow.
