In February, Argentinian journalist César Luis Merlo reported that the New England Revolution had submitted a formal offer for the Argentinian winger that was rejected. I confirmed César Luis Merlo‘s report of the club’s interest and offer for the midfielder/winger.

According to reports in February, Joaquín Pereyra indicated to the board that he intended on leaving the club and sat out two matches to finish the deal.

The deal was co-operated but ended up falling through on February 27th due to disagreements between the two clubs.

Club Atlético Tucumán confirmed the reports of an offer in a statement that was released the following day. Their statement can be found at the link here.

Both clubs failed to come to an agreement for the player.
