At the start of the week, it was reported by the French media that Lyon made an offer for PeƱarol wonder-kid Facundo Pellistri.
Now there are claims saying the Uruguayan side are still to respond to the offer, and there’s a good reason for that.
Calcio Mercato reports that even though Lyon’s bid is pretty good, PeƱarol are holding out for an offer from Manchester United.
It’s said the attempt from the Red Devils could be made at the weekend, and the Uruguayan side will waitĀ for that before they give Lyon a response.
The original report from L’Equipe said Lyon’s offer was worth ā¬5m, and the French side would leave 40% of his rights with PeƱarol.
Therefore, Manchester United must put something better on the table.
