His professional career got underway in the Torneo Argentino A with Huracán in 2009, consolidating himself in the first team at 17 years of age.[1][3] Pérez Guedes scored four goals in his debut season, which were the first of twelve goals in eighty-three appearances over two seasons for the club.[1] In June 2011, he joined Olimpo of the Argentine Primera División.[1][4] Pérez Guedes made his first division debut with Olimpo on 10 September during a 1–0 loss to Racing Club.[1] Racing Club and loan spellsAfter five goals in twenty-one games in 2011–12 for Olimpo, he signed for Racing Club ahead of the 2012–13 campaign, under manager Luis Zubeldía.[1][5][6] In November 2012, Pérez Guedes scored his first goal for Racing after coming from the bench in a 4–0 victory against Quilmes. That year, he also played the 2012 Copa Sudamericana with the club. In July 2013, due to him not playing regularly in Racing, Olimpo resigned Pérez Guedes on a loan for one season,[1][7] in which the team would play again in the first division. On September 8, he scored the first two goals of his second spell in Olimpo in a 3–0 victory at home to Boca Juniors.[1] In total, Pérez Guedes scored three goals in twenty-six matches during his temporary spell with Olimpo,[1] with his other goal taking place in a 3–1 away victory against River Plate. He returned to Racing for the 2014 league season, which the club won, becoming national champions for the first time in 13 years. For the 2015 season, Pérez Guedes was loaned to Quilmes, where he played regularly. This preceded a loan for the 2016 season with Temperley;[1][8][9] however, his loan was rescinded and, on 28 July 2016, he joined Olimpo for a third time; on loan for the second time.[1] Before the loan was signed, Pérez Guedes renewed his contract with Racing until 2019. He featured fifteen times in the 2016–17 Primera División which Olimpo ended 16th.[1] August 2017 saw him leave Racing Club on loan again, without an option to buy, to Primera B Nacional's Mitre,[10] where Pérez Guedes was considered one of the tournament's best signings. He made his 100th career appearance in April 2018 against Sarmiento.[1] Defensores de Belgrano completed the loan signing of him on 16 August,[1] he played in the club for one season and kept a good performance level. After three goals in twenty-three games for them, he returned to Racing Club prior to agreeing a move to Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos, who were later rechristened as Odisha, on 2 July 2019.[11][12] He made his debut on 22 October in a 2–1 defeat to Jamshedpur, with his first goal arriving in a December victory over Hyderabad.[1] He also scored against NorthEast United and Kerala Blasters, whilst featuring eighteen times.[1] In August 2020, Pérez Guedes returned to his homeland with Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy of Primera B Nacional.[1] He netted three times, versus ex-club Quilmes, All Boys and Instituto, across seven appearances for them.[1] San Martín, Melgar and UniversitarioIn late January 2021, Pérez Guedes agreed a move to Peruvian football with Universidad de San Martín,[13] with a contract for one season. He became one of the leaders of a squad with many young players and was named captain in the final stages of the year. The club was relegated to the Liga 2 at the end of the season. In December 2021, Pérez Guedes was signed by FBC Melgar with a contract for one season, where he would play the 2022 Copa Sudamericana.[14] The club managed to reach the semifinals in that tournament and the 2022 Liga 1 finals, which they lost to Alianza Lima. Pérez Guedes played all of Melgar's matches throughout the year, 45 of those as a starter, scoring 9 goals. After the end of the season, the team did not offer him a contract renovation, despite Pérez Guedes' intention to remain at Melgar. In November 2022, he bid farewell to the club and its fans in an Instagram post. On the same day that he made public his departure from Melgar, Universitario de Deportes announced his signing for the 2023 season.[15] Pérez Guedes made his debut for Universitario on matchday 3 of the Torneo Apertura, in a 4–0 victory against Academia Cantolao, where he scored his team's second goal.[16] Career statistics
