Elche close to signing Tiziano Perrotta

Elche are close to sealing the signing of Tiziano Perrotta, a 19-year-old forward from Banfield, according to journalist César Luis Merlo. The club will acquire the young striker's rights, though he will initially remain on loan in Argentina.

Perrotta, a left-footed forward and one of Argentina's emerging talents, developed through River Plate's youth academy before joining Banfield, where he is contracted until 2027. The loan spell will last between six and twelve months while his EU passport is processed—a requirement for him to join Martín Anselmi's squad in Spain. For now, the player will continue playing for Banfield in Argentina.
