Facundo Pellistri’s Rising Demand Post-Copa America
Manchester United’s winger, Facundo Pellistri, has garnered significant attention following his standout performances for Uruguay in the Copa America.
While his loan stint at Granada in the latter half of the season didn’t significantly boost his transfer value, the Copa America has certainly turned the tide for Pellistri.
Pellistri has been a consistent starter for Uruguay, who remain unbeaten in the tournament and recently eliminated Brazil in the quarter-finals.
This stellar international performance has raised questions about Pellistri’s future at Manchester United, showcasing him as a potential target for other clubs.
**Interest from Real Valladolid**
In a conversation with Debate Uruguay, Pellistri’s agent, Edgardo Lasalvia, revealed that two clubs are keen on acquiring him: Real Valladolid and Panathinaikos. Lasalvia had previously criticized Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, suggesting Pellistri would depart if Ten Hag remained. Despite Ten Hag’s recent contract extension, interest from other clubs persists.
Real Valladolid’s manager, Paulo Pezzolano, expressed his interest in Pellistri to the Spanish newspaper AS, highlighting the winger’s potential impact on the team. He acknowledged, however, that financial constraints might influence their ability to secure Pellistri, either on a permanent basis or on loan.
Pezzolano believes Pellistri could thrive at Valladolid, especially with their dynamic and intense playing style, which would allow the winger to excel.
Having just been promoted to La Liga, Valladolid’s prospects might not appeal to Pellistri, given his previous challenging experiences with Alaves and Granada. Yet, his Copa America performances could widen his options.
**Copa America Semifinals Await**
Pellistri, named in the team of the round for the group stages, received commendation from Uruguayan media for his performance against Bolivia.
Uruguay’s triumph over Brazil in the quarter-finals sets up a likely final against Argentina, which could pit Pellistri against his Manchester United teammates Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho. Before that, they face a formidable challenge in the semifinals against Colombia, who are unbeaten in 27 matches and recently defeated Panama 5-0 in the quarter-finals.
