Talleres on the hunt for Joaquín Pereyra, the MLS club’s target

Atlético Tucumán’s talented midfielder Joaquín Pereyra is in Talleres’ sights, but the situation is more complicated than a kite on a windy day. Since arriving in Tucumán from Rosario Central for €900,000, Pereyra has been in the spotlight – not only for his goals and assists, but also for his constant conflicts with the club’s management.

There has already been formal contact between Talleres and Atlético Tucumán, but no offer has been made yet. And you know what’s worse? The player and his entourage are waiting for an offer from MLS before deciding on his future. This whole tension has already had exciting chapters, such as when the New England Revolution almost signed the star in late February with an offer of $3 million for 90% of his transfer fee. But Tucumán backed off, saying it was too little, thus crushing the player’s American dreams.

Pereyra has everything it takes to be a key player on any team he chooses. With his undeniable talent and ability to decide games, he is a safe bet. The MLS is not stupid and recognizes a talent when it sees one. And let’s face it, the American league is increasingly attracting big-name players with the promise of good salaries and quality of life.

It remains to be seen whether New England Revolution or another MLS club will try again. Boca Juniors has also expressed interest in the player. One thing is certain: Atlético Tucumán’s tough game will one day come to an end, even if the player is desperate to move.

Pereyra would be a great signing for the MLS, a spectacular showcase, not to mention the challenge of facing new styles of play and living in a different country. On the other hand, staying in Argentina, especially with a giant like Boca, has its appeal and advantages. The pressure is enormous, but it is also the chance to make a name for yourself on home soil. Talleres, however, has his cards on the table and is waiting for the right moment to make the final move.
