“PAE Panathinaikos announces the acquisition of Facundo Pellistri by transfer from Manchester United! The 22-year-old Uruguayan midfielder has signed a four-year contract and comes to strengthen the Shamrocks with his great talent and outstanding footballing qualities.
Pellistri was born on December 20, 2001 in Montevideo, Uruguay. He started his football journey at the Peñarol academy at the age of 11. At the age of 17, Pellistri played for the first time in the “greats” of Peñarol and before he turned 18 he was already a key player and irreplaceable.
In October 2020, Manchester United, having won the… race with the rest of the top clubs, made the next big thing of Uruguayan football theirs, spending 8.5 million euros. He initially joined the “Red Devils” in the K21 and then in January 2021 he was loaned to Spanish Alaves to play games.
He stayed in the Primera Division team for 1.5 years, gaining important experiences. Thanks to them, he was called to the Uruguayan national team by the current coach of Panathinaikos, Diego Alonso, participated in the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup and finally got a starting jersey in the final phase that took place in Qatar!
He returned to United in the summer of 2022, eventually getting first-team time from January 2023. Thanks to his work, persistence and certainly talent, he managed to earn more caps in the 2023-24 season, also competing in the Champions groups League. In January 2024 he was loaned to the Spanish Granada where he recorded 15 appearances and 2 goals.
He is an active member of the Uruguayan national team, counting 26 appearances and 2 goals. In the recent Copa America, he was the main choice of the national coach Marcelo Bielsa in the course that the Celeste made until the semi-finals of the competition.
