Manchester United have finally reached a full agreement with Granada over Facundo Pellistri’s loan move.

Fabrizio Romano has just shared his ‘here we go’ announcement for the transfer after the Red Devils gave their ‘green light’ to the 22-year-old’s temporary exit.

Pellistri will join the La Liga outfit until the end of the 2023/2024 campaign as they look to climb out of the relegation zone and improve their form drastically. He’s expected to travel to Spain on Wednesday morning to complete his scheduled medical tests and put pen to paper on his new terms.

Game time is crucial for Pellistri, as he’s featured for just 366 minutes this term across 14 appearances; only three of which have come as a starter.

Pellistri could leave permanently when loan expires

Daily Mail’s United Confidential column states that Granada will attempt to make the Uruguayan’s deal permanent in the summer. Fellow Carrington graduate Omari Forson has just turned down a new contract from the club and Erik ten Hag is sweating over losing the young prospect, whom he is said to rate higher than Pellistri and suspects may have ‘a brighter future’.
