Perez has spent most of 2019-20 with the first team, making 12 appearances in all competitions and scoring twice.

Speculation has claimed he was told he could leave once Quique Setien replaced Ernesto Valverde, although the new Barca boss said in yesterday’s presence conference it was a “mutual decision” for him to leave.
