Juan José Pérez Suaza (born 25 July 2004) is a Colombian footballer currently playing as a midfielder or right-winger for Ecuadorian side América de Quito.
Club career
Having emigrated to Ecuador from his native Colombia, Pérez' performances for América de Quito - with whom he made his debut in the Ecuadorian Serie B as a seventeen-year-old - drew the attention of Serie A side L.D.U. Quito.[2] However, he would remain with América de Quito until February 2023, when he was loaned to Serie A side Emelec on an eighteen-month loan deal with a purchase option.[3]
Neither Pérez nor Emelec had a good start to the 2023 season, with the club struggling for form and Pérez finding his opportunities limited. In May 2023, having only made three substitute appearances for the side, Pérez gave an interview with Ecuadorian media, attempting to rally the team and cheer up fans, stating: "keep a good attitude and keep your head held high".[4] However, in July, having only made four more appearances for the club since speaking to the press, his agent, Chalo Vargas, stated in an interview with WQ Radio that Pérez had received an offer from an unnamed Spanish second division team.[5] Later in the same month, he reached a mutual agreement with Emelec to have his contract terminated, and he returned to América de Quito.[6]
International career
Pérez was called up to the Colombia under-15 side for a micro-cycle in 2019.
