Perrone seals £13m permanent Como move
The 22-year-old Argentine made only two senior appearances after joining City from Velez Sarafield for about £8m in January 2023.
Perrone spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Las Palmas in La Liga and the 2024-25 campaign at Como, making 26 appearances and helping them finish 10th in Italy's top flight under former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
It is understood the deal includes a 30% sell-on clause and a buy-back option for City.
"My time at Manchester City has come to an end but I'd like to thank everyone at the club for their support and guidance," said Perrone.
"I am excited for this new adventure and I wish Pep Guardiola and the players every success in the future."

Mallorca finalising loan deal with Leeds for Mateo Joseph
Leeds United are finalising a loan deal with Mallorca for Mateo Joseph. Mallorca have made a loan proposal, without a permanent option, to Leeds and Joseph. According to sources close to the player, who spoke anonymously to protect relationships, he has agreed to the move and is awaiting the green light from Leeds. Advertisement Manager Daniel Farke said the 21-year-old had requested to leave Elland Road for a Spanish club last month. According to Farke, Joseph declined to travel to Sweden or Germany with the squad for pre-season preparation in July. The Spain under-21 striker then made it clear to his manager he saw his future in his homeland, with Real Betis and Girona among the clubs interested in him. However, Leeds rejected loan offers which included pre-agreed purchase options attached to them. With three years still to run on Joseph's contract, United see no urgency in selling a striker they see potential in. United will be happy to see Joseph playing in La Liga — Mallorca finished 10th last season — before returning to Thorp Arch next summer for a fresh assessment on where he is at with his development. As for incomings, Leeds are continuing to pursue full-backs, No 10s, wingers and strikers, and Liverpool's Ben Doak is one winger Leeds have discussed. Sources close to the player and Anfield indicated United have expressed interest in the 19-year-old. Liverpool rejected offers around £20million for the winger in January and value him around the same amount now. If they do not receive an offer in that range, they are happy to retain him as a squad option. Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

Dele Alli to leave Como but plans to continue playing
Contrary to reports in Italy, Dele is not planning to retire from playing on leaving Como. He made just one appearance, playing 10 minutes as he was shown a red card after coming on as an 80th-minute substitute in the 2-1 defeat to AC Milan in March. The two-time PFA young player of the year has not featured in any of Como's three pre-season friendlies and has struggled to maintain consistent game time after his departure from Spurs in January 2022. Advertisement He has since had spells at Everton and Turkish side Besiktas but has not played more than 20 games in a season since the 2021-22 season, having missed the entirety of the 2023-24 season while contracted with Everton with various injuries. Dele joined Tottenham in 2015 from MK Dons and was one of the brightest prospects in the Premier League at that time. He recorded 10 goals and 10 assists in his debut season at the north London club and earned his England debut in October 2015, before going on to gain 37 caps for the national team. In 2o23, Dele spoke in an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap about his mental health, saying he went to rehab after struggling with a sleeping pill addiction. 'Everton were amazing about it, they were always supportive of me 100 per cent and I'll be grateful for them forever,' he said at the time. 'Whatever happens in the future, for them to be so open, honest and understanding, I couldn't have asked for anything more in that time when I was probably making the biggest decision of my life, something I was scared to do.' Among his 269 appearances for Tottenham, Dele played a leading role in their second-placed Premier League finish in the 2016-17 campaign. He scored 22 goals (18 in the Premier League) and made 13 assists as Spurs recorded their highest top-flight finish since 1962-63. Despite suffering from hamstring injuries in the 2018-19 season, Dele made eight appearances in Spurs' run to the Champions League final and started in the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in Madrid. Dele was also a part of Gareth Southgate's England squad which reached the World Cup semi-final in 2018 and scored in the 2-0 quarter-final victory over Sweden. Spot the pattern.
