Panathinaikos in talks with Manchester United to finalise deal for Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri on permanent deal

The 22-year-old winger has had a tough time, mostly playing on the bench, starting just four games last season, with a number of players in his position competing for his place and inevitably limiting his opportunities.

Greek giants Panathinaikos are in the midst of a rebuild following their fourth-place finish in the league last season and have used three different coaches over the past year. ทางเข้า https://ufabet999.app They have appointed Diego Alonso as their new manager this season and have made around ten changes to their squad this window, and they are keen on bringing in Pellistri.

On Sunday that Panathinaikos had reached an agreement in principle with the Uruguay international on a four-year contract.

The Greek club have agreed to pay a €6million (£5.1m) fee with up to €2m in add-ons based on his future performance.

United retain a 45 per cent sell-on clause as part of the agreement and a buy-back option, which is valid for the next three years.

Negotiations are continuing as the player only has one year left on his contract.
