Born in Campinas, São Paulo state, Perri began his career at Ponte Preta. In 2013 he joined São Paulo FC in a transfer that saw the club face accusations of an improper approach.

[1]
In January 2019, Perri was loaned to Crystal Palace of the English Premier League until the end of the season. [2] The move was facilitated by the player's possession of an Italian passport through his ancestry. [3] He was completely unused by manager Roy Hodgson, who did not take up the option to make the deal permanent by purchasing 80% of his economic rights for €4.5 million; he was then linked to Sporting CP of Portugal and Galatasaray in Turkey. [4]
Perri did not make his debut until 8 December 2019, when on the last day of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A season, he played the entirety of a 2–1 win at relegated CSA. Having just turned 22, he completed his childhood dream of representing the club. [5] Excluding games for the under-20 team in the Copa Paulista, he played only nine times for the Tricolor, including 30 minutes on 11 March 2020 in a 3–0 home win over LDU Quito in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores when Tiago Volpi injured his hand. [6] He played three games in the Campeonato Paulista in 2021 as his team lifted the title.
For the year 2022, Perri was loaned to Náutico. [7] First-choice, he won the Campeonato Pernambucano, defeating Retrô on penalties in the final. [8] On 26 June, in a Campeonato Brasileiro Série B game away to Tombense, he was sent off early in the second half and the opposition drew the game 1–1 with a penalty in added time. [9]
On 17 August 2022, Perri signed for Botafogo in the top flight until the end of 2025. [10] He was initially back-up to Gatito Fernández, but was chosen by manager Luís Castro when the Paraguayan veteran suffered an injury in November. [11]
On 5 January 2024, Perri signed for Ligue 1 club Lyon on a contract until 30 June 2028. [12] Botafogo received a transfer fee of €3.25 million, in addition to a sell-on clause of 50%. [13]
Perri was back-up to veteran Anthony Lopes in the league season, and made his debut on 7 February 2024 in the last 16 of the Coupe de France, a 2–1 home win over Lille. [14] He remained in goal for the rest of the cup run, which ended with a 2–1 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the final. [15] [16]
In September 2023, Perri received his first call-up to the Brazil national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification games against Bolivia and Peru. [17]
