Facundo Pellistri flight scheduled ahead of third La Liga loan spell

Facundo Pellistri will be flying to Spain later this afternoon to complete his loan move to Granada until the end of the season.

The Uruguay international is waiting on clearance on his temporary move, but the Daily Mail suggests that some of his representatives are already waiting for him in Spain so the deal can be secured quickly – prior to Thursday’s transfer deadline.

It is believed that Pellistri has a flight scheduled for 3pm to take him to Spain, where he previously had two loan spells at Alaves.

It makes perfect sense for United to send Pellistri on loan because he has played just three minutes since Christmas.

The report claims Granada are wishing to make the move permanent if the 22-year-old’s spell is a success.

However, nothing has been decided about an option-to-buy clause.

A recent update from Fabrizio Romano, who is convinced the deal will be done soon, suggests that both clubs are ‘exchanging documents’.

Pellistri has totalled 366 minutes on the pitch for United this season yet he is determined to play regularly.
