Perez only signed for Arsenal last summer, costing the Gunners £17million from Deportivo La Coruna, but has struggled for game time this season.
Arsene Wenger has handed 28-year-old Spaniard just eight starts, despite him returning six goals and five assists across all competitions.

And now his agent has revealed Perez's plans to leave the north London club when the transfer window reopens and has opened the door to a potential AC Milan switch.
“He hasn’t received any offer yet,” Lovelle told Italian outlet calciomercato.com.
“If Lucas leaves London – and he will leave because he’s had no chance with [Arsene] Wenger – he wants to go and play for a big club like Arsenal.

“Milan is a great club and he likes them very much, even if we’ve never talked with the Rossoneri hierarchy.
“Look, the truth is that Lucas wants to leave at all costs and is not happy at Arsenal, he hasn’t settled and hasn’t had a chance to play and show what he can do.
“No matter who is the manager in the future, we want to go. The player must have the chance to play.”
