Raúl Pereira Vargas (born 10 May 2005) is a Spanish footballer who plays as a left-back for Real Zaragoza.

Career

Born in Algeciras, Cádiz, Andalusia, Pereira began his career with hometown side Loluba CF before joining Cádiz CF's youth sides in 2020.[1] On 29 August 2023, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to Primera Federación side Atlético Sanluqueño CF, for one year.[2]

Pereira was recalled on 22 December 2023, after just two appearances, initially to return to the Juvenil A team.[3] He played a few matches for the C-team in Primera Andaluza before establishing himself as a regular starter with the reserves in Segunda Federación, and renewed his contract until 2027 on 7 September 2024.[4]

Pereira made his first team debut on 28 September 2025, coming on as a late substitute for Mario Climent in a 0–0 Segunda División home draw against AD Ceuta FC.[5][6] The following 8 June, he signed a four-year contract with Real Zaragoza, freshly relegated to Primera Federación.[7]
