Juan Camilo Pérez Vasco (born 22 December 1998) is a Venezuelan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Carabobo.
Born in Caracas, Pérez played for Academia Franco Rizzi, UCV, Colegio San Agustín and Atlético Venezuela as a youth.[1] He scored his first senior goal with the first team debut at the age of 15, netting the winner in a 1–0 win over Metropolitanos on 17 September 2014, for the year's Copa Venezuela.[2]
In the following years, Pérez alternated between the first team (playing three Primera División matches in 2016), the reserves (in Segunda División)[3] and the under-20s of Atlético. He left the club in January 2018, joining Deportivo La Guaira but being initially a member of the B-team in Tercera División.
After featuring rarely with the main squad of La Guaira, Pérez signed for Deportivo Petare in the second division on 15 July 2019.[1] On 6 March 2021, he returned to the top tier after agreeing to a deal with Carabobo.[4]
Pérez quickly established himself as a first-choice at Carabobo,[5] but left the club to move abroad on 3 January 2022, signing for Breiðablik in Iceland.[6] At his new side, he suffered a knee injury which prevented him to play,[7] and returned to Carabobo on 22 November 2022.[8]
On 25 August 2024, after helping Carabobo to win the 2024 Apertura tournament, Pérez renewed his contract with the club until the end of 2025.[9]
International career
On 2 November 2015, Pérez received a call-up to the Venezuela national under-20 team after Jorge Corona was cut due to injury.[10]
