Alberto Álvaro Perea Correoso (born 19 December 1990) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger.
Born in Albacete, Castilla–La Mancha, Perea was a product of hometown Albacete Balompié's youth ranks. He made his debut with the first team on 17 January 2009, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–3 home defeat to Hércules CF in the Segunda División.[2] On 21 May he was transferred to Atlético Madrid, spending his first season with the Colchoneros' B team in the Segunda División B.
Good form earned Perea a promotion to the first team for the 2010–11 pre-season, scoring in his first appearance with the main squad against Madrid neighbours RSD Alcalá (8–2 win),[3] and against Real Betis (2–1) the following week.[4] On 27 October 2010 he played his first official game for Atlético, replacing Raúl García in a 5–0 victory at Universidad de Las Palmas CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[5] Two weeks later, as everything was already decided, he started in the second match, a 1–1 draw at the Vicente Calderón Stadium.[6]
On 12 July 2011, Perea transferred to another side in the Community of Madrid, signing a three-year deal with Rayo Vallecano, recently returned to La Liga,[7] and initially being assigned to the B side in division three. Benefitting from several injuries to the main squad, he made his debut in the top flight on 22 January 2012, playing ten minutes in a 1–0 home loss against RCD Mallorca.[8]
Perea alternated between the second and third tiers in the following years, representing UE Llagostera, UE Olot and FC Barcelona B. On 17 July 2017, the free agent signed a three-year contract with Cádiz CF in the former tournament.[9]
On 1 February 2019, Perea was loaned to Extremadura UD for six months.[10] He renewed his link at the Estadio Ramón de Carranza until 30 June 2023 later the same year,[11] commenting on the new deal by making a nod to club legend Mágico González: "Carranza is a land of magicians, and I want to offer my magic until 2023".[12]
On 1 September 2022, Perea terminated his contract with Cádiz,[13] and signed a one-year deal with second-division Granada CF hours later, extendable for a further season if certain unspecified sporting objectives were met.[14] In January 2024, he left the latter by mutual agreement.[15]
Perea joined Cypriot First Division club Anorthosis Famagusta FC on a one-and-a-half-year contract on 15 January 2024.[16]
