His pace looks a bit Pellistrian.

Is that your prediction? What is it based on? He's nothing like Sancho and even Pogba took more than 2 years to want to pay less than that.
I HEAR YOU, Facundo Pellistri
Youtube videos and his hype in uruguay. Plus the teams that are in for him. Seen this pattern many times!
So you've seen a Uraguayan player have great youtube videos and hype, with teams coming in for him and then clubs have bid over 100 million for him many times.
That hasnt happened
If that is what you understood...
Uruguayan journo/Sports tv presenter
This morning I told you in sport890 that Man Utd were going to bid for a player and it was going to be a surprise. Okay, it's a 5 year contract for Pellestri and the financial package stronger than the one from Lyon. The English club would be flexible for him to join in January. This afternoon there will be further negotiations/contacts on the terms of the contract.

The plot thickens..
Anything on Uruguayvision?
Anything on Fünke Sport?
Seems we only can do deals when ex players are involved. Time to place Anderson at Porto to get Telles over the line.
Anything on concretenews.com?
Forlan was sacked a few weeks ago. Is there another ex-player at Peñarol I’m not aware of?
Really? Poor guy. He at least put in a good word for us i imagine
Nothing sold or anything to beton.
Pallister regen?
Would be quite a fun signing, hopefully he's good and hopefully we get him.
His highlight reel looks very similar to Dan James's before we signed him.
Blistering pace but it depends if he's got end product. Based on the 4 minute clip above there wasn't much of a passing range shown or impressive finishing in it.
That would be what he needs to show on top of the clear pace and dribbling ability.

He reminds me of David Silva from his highlights and it doesn't look like he will be a winger long-term. I see him as central attacker/SS who has fantastic technique with the ball glued to his feet at times.
Id like us to take one of these cheap punts, that norwegian kid just went to milan, guess there is that russian one we cant sign until hes 18.
I have no information other than we need to take one cheap gamble worst case he comes here isnt good enough and someone would pay the 5 mill after he trains with us for 2 years.

Even the highlights video did not make him look impressive.

Managed by Forlan. 1 goal 2 assists in 17 games.
Who could he be compared to? Want to know if this is as much of a yawn and meh as Brooks.
Forlan was sacked.
Ah didn't realise he was sacked last month, my bad.
Right, and who is he? We’ve been linked with him?
We have been linked since the summer. Young Uruguayan RW who supposedly was recommended to us through Forlan. We know how Ole really values player recommendations from his old team mates (cheers for that giggsy!) maybe just the media adding 2+2
There was another rumour a few days ago that Lyon were interested so we’ve come in with a better offer. He has a euro passport.
The common speach of the press here, is that Lyon is still the favourite, everything was suppose to be ready, and then Peñarol demanded the player to stay until december, which Lyon refused. Sometime in the middle we supposedly appear with a better offer, but Peñarol insists in keeping the player until december/january. It is suppose to be a decision of the board.
Now the player has left "the bubble" the players are in (covid stuff) and skipped trainning. He won't play next tuesday.
Uruguayan clubs need european money, their "determination" to keep him a few more months will disappear with some extra euros.

I can't imagine him being bought to play in the first team in the short term.
Is he ready to play for a top club in Europe and if not is he ready to play for us?
He must be alright if Lyon are in for him. They have Cherki coming through in the same position who’s considered a top prospect.
Interesting. I take it you've seen him quite a bit.
If that's the case, I can't imagine why we'd be after him given our immediate need for players and limited financial resources.
youth team I’d imagine. We have very little coming through on the right wing.
I admit I don't follow the league here closely, but I would say no player here can jump straight to the first team of a top club in Europe. I don't think he would get in any team of the top leagues right away, at the very least he will need to improve the physical aspects of the game as most players that go to Europe from here. Players always have to bulk up when they go (Varela had for example), and fast players need to learn that they are not so far anymore... because the football and the players are much faster.
Anyway, he is a great prospect I think, he will go to Europe sooner rather than later and I think he will have a good career. He has good technique and is fast, but I don't think he depends on his speed too much (which would be a problem as he wouldn't have so much speed advantage in England). He is playing in a squad that doesn't play very nicely... Forlan wanted to make them play better but was soon sacked because results weren't too good, they are now about to be out of the Libertadores. They have 20 points in 13 matches in the league. I said this in the sense that he would surely shine more with better football around him.
If we are in for him, I can only think he would be a purchase for the future, I wouldn't think he would be useful before a whole season of improving his physicality at the very least.
Great feedback and insight - cheers!
Sounds like he'd be better served going to a more stable club to be honest.
Can you lot promote @Daonico already?!
There is already a thread for him.
He's gone AWOL and it's being reported that United have overtaken Lyon in the pursuit of the player.

He looks good technically but given his age surely he's an alternative to the kid from Atalanta who's gone on loan to Parma as opposed to Sancho, I mean I doubt we'd get a work permit for him.
He holds a Spanish Passport from what I've read and he's not a alternative to Sancho IMO because he seems to be at the stage where he needs games to develop further at European level. I don't see him as a winger but rather a central attacker playing off the striker in a SS role.
