Joaquín Pérez Ibáñez (born 1 February 2000) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a forward, most recently for Al Wasl.

Club career[edit]

Born in Buenos Aires, Pérez started his career with River Plate.[2] In 2017, he expressed his admiration for English Premier League side Liverpool, stating that he liked their style of play and manager, Jürgen Klopp. He also cited Zlatan Ibrahimović as a player he looked up to, and wanted to emulate.[3] The following year he trialled with Italian sides Bologna and Lazio, going close to signing with the latter.[2][4]

Despite the interest from Italian clubs, he would sign for fellow Argentinian side Defensa y Justicia in 2019.[5] However, after failing to break into the first team, he moved to the United Arab Emirates, joining Al Wasl.[6]
