Facundo Pellistri is close to leaving Man Utd. The 22-year-old winger will be leaving after 4 years. INEOS want to change United’s management. They want to turn things around. They won’t be paying more for any player. At the same time, they plan to sell unwanted players. The Red Devils are making strong moves in the market. United would finish the season poorly. They were totally subpar. They ended the Premier League campaign on 8th place. Also, their defense was a horror show. They would concede 84 goals in all competitions. INEOS were also close to firing Ten Hag.
But, at the same time, Man Utd won the FA Cup. They beat Man City in the final. Moreover, they would qualify for the UEL 24/25. As a result, Chelsea would play UECL 24/25. Meanwhile, Newcastle are out of Europe. INEOS have kept Ten Hag. And, 2 new signings have already been made. Man Utd have signed Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro. But, players will also be leaving Old Trafford. Mason Greenwood has already left to join Marseille. And, Donny van de Beek is also gone. Now, Pellistri is also close to leaving Man Utd. INEOS are cashing-in as much as they could. So, they could invest it again.
Pellistri leaving after 4 years with Man Utd
The 22-year-old started his youth career with Penarol in 2012. He would feature for the first team in 2019. As per en.wikipedia.org, United signed him for £9 million in 2020. Then, he would join Alaves on loan for couple of seasons until 2022. He made 35 appearances for Alaves. Pellistri came back to Man Utd in 2022. He would make 24 appearances for them. Later, he would join Granada on short-term loan in January. He would appear in 15 outings, scoring twice. He was showing signs of improvement. But, INEOS have decided to let him go.
As of now, he has made 114 club appearances. He has been a part of Uruguay (U16) squad since 2017. He made his senior debut in 2022. The 23-year-old has won 26 caps for his national side. And, he has also managed to score 2 goals. Man Utd want to sell Pellistri, with his contract expiring in 2025. Ten Hag gave him plenty of chances. But, he was unable to rise up to the occasion. He was unable to be consistent. He is still young. And, the Red Devils are wanting to cash-in on him.
Panathinaikos want the Uruguayan
As per caughtoffside.com the winger was great at the Copa America. As a result, Corinthians, Flamengo, Besiktas, and Boca Juniors are willing to sign him. Without a doubt, Pellistri will be leaving Man Utd this summer. Some reports suggest that he prefers a move back to Spain. The Red Devils want to cash-in on him. They will be aiming to sell him for as high a price as possible. Meanwhile, he will be looking for playing regular first team football. Nothing is concrete as of now. But, plenty of clubs clearly want him.
Greek club Panathinaikos are also willing to sign the 23-year-old. At the same time, Greece is clearly not his priority. Some reports indicate that the Greece club is close to signing the winger. But, he is surely leaving the Theatre of Dreams. So, United will be waiting for the best offer. Meanwhile, the winger will try to figure out his next club. The Red Devils shall continue to develop under INEOS. If this continues, United will definitely be a team to watch.
