In 1960, Perfumo made his debut in the youth team of the River Plate club, in the 5th division of the Argentine championship. In 1961, Perfumo transferred to the Racing club from Avellaneda, first playing as a striker, and then moving to the role of the left central defender. His debut came in a match with Ferrocarril Oeste (a 1-0 victory for Racing), in which he made a huge impression on Nestor Rossi , the Argentine national team coach.
