Franco Nicolás Pérez (born 1 January 1996) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga Dominicana club Atlético Pantoja.
Club career
Pérez began in Newell's Old Boys' youth, before appearing for the first-team in September 2015 for a victory away to Estudiantes (LP). On 31 August 2016, Liga MX side Morelia loaned Pérez. He made his professional debut with the club on 9 August 2017 during a Copa MX group stage meeting with Necaxa, he was substituted on for Jorge Zárate with twenty-seven minutes remaining and subsequently scored Morelia's goal in a 1–1 draw. He mainly featured for the club's reserve team, Morelia Premier, in Liga Premier; scoring nine in thirty appearances; including a brace over Alacranes de Durango.
Pérez returned to Newell's Old Boys in 2018, prior to joining Deportivo Madryn on loan in August. He scored goals against Alvarado and Chaco For Ever whilst with the club. July 2019 saw Pérez leave Newell's permanently, as he penned terms with Primera Nacional's Estudiantes. Six months later, after just three appearances, Pérez moved across the division to Independiente Rivadavia on loan. Three games occurred. He departed during 2020, before heading to the United States on 11 March 2021 to join USL League One side FC Tucson.
In February 2023, Pérez joined Liga Dominicana club Atlético Pantoja.
