Uruguayan left back Matias Perez offered

Catalan sports paper Sport claims that Barcelona is interested in Danubio left back defender Matías Pérez (23).

Barcelona's technical department has asked the scouts to closely follow all promising young left back defenders and Pérez would be among the players who are monitired.

Barcelona has been following the Uruguayan defender for months. Barcelona sports director Txiki Begiristain contacted the player's agent, Martín Guastadisegno, a first time last summer. A few days ago, Guastadisegno would have offered Pérez to Barcelona during a meeting with Barcelona general director of football Raúl Sanllehí.

Barcelona didn't yet make a decision on Pérez. Although the club doesn't consider him to be at this moment a player for the first team squad, they are considering the option of signing the left back and loaning him out to another club and will keep on following him.
