Manchester United and Panathinaikos have reached an agreement to sell Facundo Pellistri for €6 million.

The Uruguayan international is expected to be the next player to leave United in the final ten days of the summer transfer season, which is all about selling players.

In addition to agreeing to a sizeable sell-on clause, it is believed that United made up for the relatively low initial payment by securing Pellistri's long-term deal with the Greek team. In order for him to be registered in time for Panathinaikos' Europa Conference League play-off match against Lens on Thursday night, they are hoping to finalize a contract as soon as possible.

Fabrizio Romano hinted at the impending transfer on social media on Tuesday morning, using his well-known "here we go" catchphrase: "Facundo Pellistri to Panathinaikos, here we go! An deal to pay €6 million has been sealed, confirming the exclusive news. Pellistri signs a long-term contract with MUFC, while the deal is permanent with a sell-on provision. Diego Alonso, Pana's Uruguayan manager, is a crucial element."

Diego Alonso, a Uruguayan who is already a fixture on the international scene, was named head coach of Panathinaikos this past summer. It is believed that Alonso is a great admirer of his compatriot.

With so many wide options at attack, Pellistri—who made 14 appearances for Erik ten Hag's team the previous season before going on loan to Granada—is seen as surplus to needs at Old Trafford. He played as a right-back in the Community Shield shootout loss to Man City, thus he was not featured in the Premier League victory over Fulham last Friday night.

In addition, the 22-year-old had two successful loan stints in La Liga with Alaves. Since joining United from Penarol in 2020, he has made 24 appearances for the senior squad.
