A passing attempt by Timo Baumgartl to Miguel Perez was ruled offside during a recent St. Louis City SC match, according to reports from the game.
Miguel Perez, a 20-year-classic midfielder currently playing for St. Louis City SC, has been with the team since February 21, 2023, and his contract extends through December 31, 2026, with a one-year club option, according to Transfermarkt.
Perez primarily plays as a defensive midfielder, but is also capable of playing in a central midfield role. He was born on April 28, 2005, in St. Louis, Missouri. His market value is currently estimated at €300,000, though it peaked at €1.2 million in February 2024, as reported by FotMob.
St. Louis City SC recently finalized its roster decisions for the 2026 season, declining contract options for Seth Antwi, Jayden Reid, and Joey Zalinsky. Sporting Director Corey Wray stated the moves were made to “put us in the best position to be competitive in 2026,” and to provide “flexibility” as the team continues to evaluate roster options. The current roster includes Perez among eight midfielders: Marcel Hartel, Tomáš Ostrák, Eduard Löwen, Célio Pompeu, Mykhi Joyner, Chris Durkin, and Tyson Pearce.
Perez has appeared in six matches for St. Louis City SC this season, starting two, and logging 65 minutes of play. He has yet to score a goal, but has one assist. His most recent match action came on February 21 against Charlotte FC, where he played seven minutes. He also featured in a match against San Diego FC on February 29, playing 58 minutes.
The club is also in discussions regarding potential returns for Henry Kessler, Conrad Wallem (currently with SK Slavia Prague), and Devin Padelford (Minnesota United), as preparations for the 2026 season continue.
