Manchester United youngster Facundo Pellistri is on the verge of a move to Valencia, according to claims on Friday evening.
It’s Italian website CalcioMercato.it who breaks the news, claiming that following contacts in the past few days, the deal is ‘about to be closed’.
That’s all the information the outlet brings for now, with nothing on their website, and not making it clear whether it’s a loan from Manchester United or a permanent transfer, although it’s a lot more likely to be a temporary spell.
As the Spanish and especially the Valencia media are still to report that, we keep waiting for the information to be backed-up by other reliable sources.
Facundo Pellistri only has one appearance for Manchester United this season, being brought in by Erik ten Hag in the FA Cup clash against Charlton Athletic.
In the past few days, the player was linked to several clubs, even from South America, where it was reported Flamengo advanced in the talks for his signing.
But it always seemed like the Red Devils would rather keep him in Europe, and following his loan spell at Alavés, it seems he could return to Spain, representing Valencia this time.
