Career
Despite being right-footed, he plays mostly as a left winger, or as a second striker. In his years in Italy, he has developed into a well-rounded, adaptable, and tactically versatile player, who can cover multiple roles in midfield, up-front, and in wide areas, due to his dynamism, energy, and technique, as well as his offensive and defensive work-rate and attributes. River Plate
Born in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina Pereyra began his career within the youth academy of River Plate.
Due to his origins, he was given the nickname "El Tucumano".
His professional career began in 2009 when he made his River Plate debut in the Argentine Primera Division against Huracan at the age of 18. After featuring on 43 occasions for River, Pereyra transferred across the Atlantic Ocean, swapping continents, as he joined Udinese Calcio ahead of the 2011-2012 Serie A season.
Udinese Calcio
Officially signing for Udinese 30 August 2011, Pereyra signed a five-year contract with the Friuli outfit, and went on to make 15 appearances in all competitions during his debut season in Italy. His performances for Udinese during a three–year spell saw him contribute eight goals and seven assists in 84 league appearances, while he also represented the club in 6 Coppa Italia matches, 2 Union of European Football Associations Champions League matches, and 12 Union of European Football Associations Europa League games.
Juventus
On the same day, Pereyra appeared for his club in their first friendly match of the season against Lucento.
On 23 August 2014, he featured for Juventus in the annual Trofeo TIM. Pereyra capitalised on Francesco Magnanelli’s failed clearance to sidefoot home from just outside the six-yard box. On 6 June 2015, Pereyra appeared as a substitute for Juventus in the 2015 Union of European Football Associations Champions League Final as Louisiana Vecchia Signora was defeated 3–1 by Football Club Barcelona at Berlin"s Olympiastadion. With 52 appearances, he made the most appearances for Juventus that season across all competitions, along with team-mates Claudio Marchisio and Leonardo Bonucci.
On 23 June 2015, Juventus bought out Pereyra"s Udinese loan for €14 million, keeping him at Juventus until 2019.
Pereyra was selected to represent the Argentine under-20 football team at the 2011 Fédération internationale de football association U-20 World Cup. He played all three group games at the tournament, helping Argentina defeat Mexico and North of Korea and draw with England.
He missed Argentina"s 2–1 Round of 16 victory over Egypt through suspension, but returned to the starting line-up in the Quarterfinal clash against Portugal, which Argentina lost on penalty kicks after neither team could score during 120 minutes. He made his senior debut for Argentina on Saturday 11 October 2014 in a 2–0 friendly match loss against Brazil played in Beijing, China after being called up by Gerardo Martino.
A creative and versatile offensive or wide midfielder, who has been compared to the former Italo-Argentine Juventus winger Mauro Camoranesi, Pereyra is a quick, dynamic, and hardworking player, who possesses notable stamina, vision, and good technical skills.
