The Canadian club have announced that they are hoping to tie down the Panamanian striker who left FC Dallas in December.
Perez has been with the Whitecaps at their pre-season training camp in Arizona and is on the verge of joining Carl Robinson's side as long as they can work out a deal which will see Dallas pick up the rights to Mauro Rosales.
The 'Caps posted the following on Twitter on Wednesday:
#VWFC and @FCDallas are currently discussing a deal that would involve Perez and Mauro Rosales. Details are still being finalized.

Additionally, head coach Robinson said in a statement that Vancouver were actively seeking a deal for 34-year-old Perez who has scored 36 goals in 97 regular season games for Dallas.
“We are working on a deal with Dallas, as well as Blas, but felt it was important to have him here in Tucson, training with the guys, as soon as possible," said Robinson.
“Blas is a proven goal-scorer. Everywhere he plays, he scores goals, competes, and has a natural hunger to win."
