Lucas Perez has had a varied career, playing for several clubs across Europe. After leaving Deportivo La Coruna last year, he had a brief spell with Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. Now, as a free agent, the experienced attacker is weighing his options, with a strong preference for a return to Spain’s top division.

📄 An Offer from a Lower Division

Recently, Perez received a contract offer from Castellon, a team competing in the Segunda División, which is Spain’s second-tier football league. The club’s president, Bob Voulgaris, made a proposal to bring the striker on board, hoping his experience could boost their squad.

Believing he still has what it takes to compete with the best, Perez stated, “I have the credentials for the Primera,” signaling his firm intention to find a new team in La Liga.
