Manchester United‘s young talent, Facundo Pellistri, faces an uncertain future as talks over a loan move to Granada still going on.
Earlier reports suggested that the anticipated transfer had stalled because the Spanish side is reportedly struggling to afford Pellistri’s salary, leaving the 22-year-old winger in a precarious situation.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Pellistri had been on the verge of a loan move to Granada, but financial constraints are threatening to scuttle the deal.
The youngster has also garnered interest from several European clubs, including PSV and Roma. However, concerns loom over the potential departure of Facundo Pellistri, especially after Jadon Sancho‘s loan move to Borussia Dortmund and teenager Omari Forson’s refusal to sign a new contract.
In the latest update from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, it appears that Granada are now closing in on the loan deal for Facu Pellistri.
Talks are progressing rapidly, with more contacts scheduled today to finalize the agreement between all parties. The player himself had given the green light to the move around 10 days ago, and now, it seems the deal is almost within reach.

The bigger picture now hinges on whether Pellistri will secure a move before the January transfer window closes. With limited playing time at Manchester United, the winger’s development could benefit from a loan spell. Pellistri, who joined the Red Devils from Penarol in 2020, has previously experienced loan stints in La Liga with Alaves.
Interestingly, Granada are battling relegation in La Liga, sitting just one place off the bottom of the table with only two wins this season. If the loan deal materializes, Pellistri will join a team facing a tough fight to secure their top-flight status.
