NYCFC re-signs M Andres Perea through 2027-28

New York City FC re-signed midfielder Andres Perea to a contract extension through 2027-28 season when MLS switches to a summer-spring schedule.

The deal with the Tampa, Fla., native, includes an option for 2028-29.

"The past two-and-a-half years with New York City have been incredibly good for me," Perea said. "I've felt so much love from the city, my teammates, the entire staff, and the fans, making me truly happy here. I'm really excited to sign a new contract with New York City."

Perea, 25, had an assist in three games of the just-completed MLS Cup playoffs before he came away with a fractured right leg in a first-round series against Charlotte FC.

In 62 regular-season games with NYCFC over three seasons he has seven goals and three assists.

In 144 career MLS games over seven seasons with Orlando City (2020-22), the Philadelphia Union (2023) and NYCFC, Perea has 11 goals with six assists.
