Club career

Pereira is a product of the Douglas Haig youth system, though he left in order to join Independiente in 2008.[2][3] He made his senior bow in April 2014 against Santamarina in the Copa Argentina, which was his sole appearance for the club.[1][4] 2015 saw Pereira move to Mexico to play on loan for Athletic Club Morelos of Liga Premier.[5] His first appearance came in a goalless draw with Albinegros de Orizaba on 5 September, which preceded his opening senior goal versus Puebla Premier coming in his second match.[5] A further goal against Pioneros de Cancún across ten more games followed in the Mexican third tier.[5]

A return to Douglas Haig was completed on 15 July 2016 after Pereira terminated his contract with Independiente.[1][3] He was selected thirty-seven times in his first campaign, which concluded with relegation to Torneo Federal A; where he would score nine goals.[1] June 2018 saw Pereira sign for Primera B Nacional's Los Andes.[1][6][7] He made his debut in a home defeat to Independiente Rivadavia on 25 August, which was the first of forty-four appearances across two campaigns with Los Andes.[1] In August 2020, Pereira joined Deportivo Riestra.[8]

On 27 July 2021, Pereira joined Godoy Cruz on a deal until the end of 2022.[9] He later extended his stay at the club into the 2022 season. On 15 June 2022, Pereira moved to Primera Nacional club Belgrano on a deal until the end of 2023.[10]

International career

In 2010, Pereira was selected by José Luis Brown for the Argentina U17s.[2][6]
