Her shirt AEK will wear – as everything shows – until 2026 o Roberto “Tuku” Pereira.

The association” came to an agreement with the 33-year-old Argentine, who was released from Udinese and comes to strengthen the midfield line of his team Matias Almeida.

In fact, Pereira knows each other very well with “Pelados”, with whom they were teammates in River Plate when he was in the first years of his career and the coach of the “yellow and black” was preparing to hang up his shoes.

It is worth noting that the former player of Juventus, Watford and Udinese was together in the eleven with Almeida when he gave the last match of his career!

Specifically, we have to go back 13 years and specifically to June 22, 2011 when the River Plate it gave the first barrage of staying in the first category, in – probably – the most difficult situation it experienced in its history.

With Almeida wearing the armband in midfield and Pereira on the right, the ‘millionaires’ were unable to get their act together against Belgrano, losing 2-0. In the second match and the 1-1 draw “Pelados” had not played due to suspension, with River tasting the bitter glass of relegation for the first time in its history.

River was the first team of Pereira’s career, with which he made 45 appearances, sharing four assists. In the summer of 2011, he made the big move by moving to Europe on behalf of Udinese for 2 million euros.

At the same time, he has been a teammate with Nordin Amrabat during their presence in the Premier League stadiums with the Watford jersey.
