New York City FC News Release
New York City Football Club (NYCFC) today announced that it has acquired Midfielder Andrés Perea on loan from the Philadelphia Union through the end of the 2023 season.
Philadelphia Union will receive $300,000 in 2024 General Allocation Money (GAM) but will retain a portion of the player's 2023 salary budget charge. There is no option to buy at the end of the loan.
Andrés Perea started his career in Colombia at Atlético Nacional as part of its youth academy and represented Colombia at the U-17 and U-20 World Cups. Following a switch of association, Perea has one appearance for the United States Men's Nation Team (USMNT) in a 2021 friendly against Trinidad & Tobago, as well as making appearances for the USMNT U-23 squad.
NYCFC Sporting Director David Lee said: "We're excited to have Andrés join the Club on a loan for the remainder of the season. Andrés will bring additional depth and options to our midfield as we begin a busy period of the season. He is a young and talented player who has already accumulated a lot of professional experience, both in MLS and abroad, and has a bright future ahead of him. We're looking forward to integrating him into our group as we push towards the playoffs.''
Perea moved to Major League Soccer (MLS) on loan to Orlando City SC in 2019 before joining the club permanently a year later. Perea was traded to the Philadelphia Union last December. The 22-year-old Midfielder has four goals and three assists across 82 MLS appearances.
Midfielder Andrés Perea said: "I am looking forward to joining New York City. It's a Club with a history of developing players, that emphasizes attacking possession-based soccer which suits my style of play. I look forward to meeting my new teammates and everyone at the Club and hope to contribute to the team's success this season."
