Manchester United's deal with Panathinaikos for Facundo Pellistri includes a 45% sell-on clause, which means that United will receive 45% of any future transfer fee if Pellistri is sold by Panathinaikos. The transfer has been confirmed by United, and Panathinaikos has praised Pellistri's talent in their official statement.
According to BBC, the deal is worth £6.8m, with United receiving £5.1m upfront and up to £1.7m in potential add-ons. Panathinaikos has also included a buy-back clause that is valid until 2027, as well as a sizable 45% sell-on fee.
Pellistri, who joined United in 2020 from Club Atlético Peñarol in Uruguay for a reported fee of £9m, spent four years at Old Trafford but struggled to secure a consistent spot in the starting lineup. He made a total of 25 appearances for the Red Devils and spent the previous season on loan at Granada in La Liga, where he impressed by scoring a goal against Barcelona in February.
Panathinaikos welcomed Pellistri with a statement on their official website, announcing his four-year contract and praising his talent and footballing qualities. United also released a statement wishing Pellistri all the best in his new venture.
Diego Alonso, who previously managed Uruguay and handed Pellistri his debut in 2021, is currently coaching Panathinaikos. Pellistri's loan spells in La Liga with Alaves and Granada helped develop his game, and he also represented Uruguay in the 2022 World Cup and the United States recently.
Upon his return to United, he made an appearance in the Community Shield against Manchester City before being sent out on loan again. The 22-year-old's last game in a United shirt was an appearance off the bench in the Community Shield, which ended in a penalty shootout loss.
Everyone at United wishes Pellistri the best of luck in his new club and thanks him for his contributions during his time at Old Trafford.
