Pablo Pérez Rico (born 18 August 2001) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a left-back for CD Mirandés.

Club career

Sevilla

Pérez was born in Madrid, but moved to Colombia at early age due to his family's work. There, he played for a number of teams, including Fortaleza CEIF before returning to his home country and staying in Valencia for a year, where he represented Levante UD.[1] In 2018, as his family moved to Seville, he joined AD Nervión, playing as a winger before joining Sevilla FC in 2019.[2]

Initially assigned to the Juvenil A squad, Pérez was converted into a left back during the 2019–20 season, while also training with the first team.[3] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 31 January 2021, playing the last 17 minutes in a 1–1 Segunda División B home draw against Real Murcia CF.

Atlético Madrid

On 23 August 2023, after failing to make a breakthrough in his first team, Pérez signed a two-year contract with Atlético Madrid and was assigned to the B-team in Primera Federación.[4] On 10 July of the following year, he renewed his link until 2027.[5]

On 31 July 2025, Pérez moved to Segunda División side CD Mirandés on loan for one year.[6]

Style of play

A left-back, Pérez has received comparisons to Spain international Jordi Alba.[7]
