Man United sold Facundo Pellistri to Panathinaikos for a fixed fee of 6m plus 2m in add-ons. The 22-year-old winger had been a consistent starter for the national side, but struggled to establish himself at Old Trafford. Over four years, he largely spent time on loan in La Liga, where he failed to impress the current manager, Erik ten Hag. Despite limited appearances, he leaves with the potential to develop further in Greece, benefiting both clubs from a successful tenure.
The inclusion of a massive 45% sell-on clause in Pellistri's deal is notable, particularly if he flourishes in Greece. This clause means any future transfer fee paid for Pellistri will yield significant financial returns for Man United. Having a buy-back option until 2027 also demonstrates the Premier League giant's intent to retain a potential talent. As Pellistri develops further at Panathinaikos, his value could increase rapidly, probably making him an attractive prospect for larger clubs within Europe's top leagues.
