Univ. San Martín
In late 2011, Perea signed with Peruvian Primera División side Universidad San Martín de Porres ahead of the 2012 season.[2] On 20 February 2012, after Perea and several other San Martín players went on strike, the club announced it would not participate in the upcoming season and that the contracts of its players would be terminated.[3][4]
