South American prodigy officially leaves Old Trafford, MU earns a fortune
After a long time without many opportunities to show himself at MU, young striker Facundo Pellistri has decided to look for a new destination.
According to the latest information, the Uruguayan player has completed the procedure to join the Greek club Panathinaikos.
Pellistri finds new home in Greece
After recruiting a series of quality new players in this summer transfer window, Manchester United decided to clean up the squad. One of the names that had to say goodbye to the "Red Devils" was young striker Facundo Pellistri.
Since joining Manchester United from Penarol in 2020, Pellistri has struggled to establish himself as a regular starter. Despite his technical ability and quick pace, the Uruguayan has yet to prove his worth in the Premier League.
A promising new destination
A move to Panathinaikos is seen as a step in the right direction for Pellistri's career. The Greek club are keen on signing the Uruguayan youngster to bolster their attack.
Panathinaikos coach Diego Alonso is a big admirer of Pellistri's talent and believes the youngster will be a quality addition to the team. At Panathinaikos, Pellistri will have more opportunities to show himself and develop his career.
How much did Manchester United earn from this deal?
Although there is no official information about the transfer fee, many sources say that Manchester United will earn a decent amount of money from the sale of Pellistri. This amount will help the "Red Devils" have more budget to recruit other targets.
