Club Brugge have Manchester United’s Facundo Pellistri ‘in the picture’ for January.
This was first reported by Het Belang van Limburg on Tuesday and backed up by Het Laatste Nieuws later that day.
HLN explained the Jupiler Pro League winners have also set their sights on Aston Villa youngster Jaden Philogene-Bidace.
In his pre-match press conference, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed the Red Devils will allow the attacker to go out on loan in the winter market.
According to Het Nieuwsblad, the Jupiler Pro League winners ‘want to rent’ the Red Devils youngster in the winter market.
The 19-year-old is also attracting interest from Alavés, and the decision about his short-term future now rests in the hands of the Uruguayan.
HLN have updated yesterday’s online report and that places Club Brugge ahead of other suitors in the race to sign Pellistri.
Those close to player view a move to Belgium as one which will help the teenager ‘play for trophies’ and also provide an opportunity to play in the Europa League. Alavés’ interest is mentioned in HLN’s report.
It’s claimed Pellistri ‘wants to make a decision about his future’ in the ‘coming hours’, after weighing up pros and cons of the loan proposals he has received so far.
