Manchester United are preparing to sell Facundo Pellistri.
Let’s face it. The talented Uruguayan doesn’t see a pathway into the starting line-up and it would be best for both parties involved to part ways.
Furthermore, the United squad needs more reinforcements but players must be sold before additional signings are made. Erik ten Hag has welcomed four new players into his squad this summer, including Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
United are wary of Profit and Sustainability Rules and must abide by the rules after years of mismanagement under the Glazers. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have a lot of mess to clean up from the greedy American family.
Several first-team members are available at the right price as a result. They include Jadon Sancho, Scott McTominay and Victor Lindelof.
It was previously reported that Panathinaikos were in talks over a deal to sign Pellistri, with negotiations taking place over a four-year deal. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is now reporting that the Uruguayan is close to leaving United.
Romano writes ‘almost there’ to suggest a deal is close between United and Panathinaikos for Pellistri.
It makes sense for Pellistri to move on because he is currently behind Amad Diallo, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho for a place in Ten Hag’s team.
