But he opted for Arsenal at the 11th hour and has endured a nightmare 12 months in North London following his move from Deportivo La Coruna for £17million.
Perez was not part of the 25-man Gunners squad touring Australia and China.
SunSport has been told by sources close to the player that he is desperate to revive his career elsewhere, and reports of a staggering ten-year deal offered by old club Deportivo are wide of the mark.
Marseille and Bayer Leverkusen are showing strong interest and a bid of around £11m should be enough for the 28-year-old who started just two Premier League games last season.
Leverkusen are looking for additional firepower after the departure of Javier Hernandez.
