Manchester United and Granada are reportedly finalising the details of Facundo Pellistri’s transfer to the La Liga club.
The 22-year-old has not been able to gain much playing time in the Man Utd first-team, so it perhaps now makes sense for him to leave on loan in order to get some experience and develop his game.
Pellistri has long looked an exciting young talent, but he’s perhaps still not quite at the level he needs to be to be playing regularly for the Red Devils, so this move seems ideal for all parties involved.
See below for details from journalist Matteo Moretto, who says the details of the player’s wages are now being finalised, with the deal nearly done…

MUFC fans will hope Pellistri can benefit from this loan spell and return to Old Trafford a better player, or else this can at least be an opportunity to put the Uruguay international in the shop window.
