Young striker Facundo Pellistri is considering leaving Manchester United in this transfer window, whether on loan or permanently. The information was released by SKY Sports, highlighting the player's quest for more playing time and development on the field. Facundo Pellistri, 21, has found it difficult to secure a place in Manchester United's first team.
Since arriving at the club, the Uruguayan striker has failed to establish himself as a starter, which has led him to consider other options for his career. The search for more minutes on the field is a priority for the young man, who wants to continue evolving as a player. The possibility of leaving on loan seems to be the most likely at the moment.
CLUBS EYE ON THE MID
A loan would allow Pellistri to gain experience and show his value at another club, without permanently cutting ties with Manchester United. However, a permanent transfer is not ruled out, especially if an attractive offer emerges for both the player and the club. Despite not having many opportunities in the first team, Pellistri showed potential when he was called onto the field.
It's no surprise that other clubs are keeping an eye on Pellistri. The lack of space at Manchester United has not gone unnoticed, and teams from different European leagues are considering the possibility of having the striker in their squads. The opportunity to sign a talented young player with a hunger for the game and a desire to prove his worth is always attractive to teams looking to bolster their attack.
The investment was not considered sufficient by the red-black board, which maintains its policy of only negotiating players for values that reflect reality.

The Italian club formalized a proposal for Wesley with a base value of €20 million, plus €2 million in bonuses for goals. This amount, in theory, would meet most of the expectations of Brazilian clubs in negotiations with European football. However, Flamengo understands that it is not yet the ideal time to release the player.
According to sources interviewed by this report, the club's board believes Wesley could be valued even higher if he improves technically and performs well in the remaining competitions of the season. The club also believes the player has the potential to fetch higher fees in a future negotiation.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Wesley and his representatives have already finalized all the details with Roma. The Italian club offered a long-term contract with attractive salaries and performance-based bonuses. Negotiations between the player and the European club are therefore finalized, with only Flamengo's approval remaining for the transfer to be finalized.
The possibility of a new move from Roma is not ruled out. Internally, Flamengo knows that the Italians could return to the table with a revised offer. The amount requested to open negotiations is being kept confidential, but it is likely to exceed the €22 million offered.
Roma 's rejection of the offer reinforces the line taken by Flamengo's board in recent transfers. The club has sought to avoid making sales below what it considers fair on the international market, even when the figures are impressive at first glance.
Young attacking midfielder leaves Mais Querido after impasse resolved between clubs and million-dollar deal with Cruzeiro; total value of negotiation will be millions

Matheus Gonçalves will play his last match with Flamengo on Monday (14), against Atlético-MG in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship . The attacking midfielder is packing his bags for Belo Horizonte, where he will sign with Cruzeiro until 2030.
The agreement between the boards was reached after discussions over the payment method. According to reports, the Minas Gerais club will pay €3.5 million (approximately R$22.8 million) upfront for 50% of the player's economic rights. The other half will remain with the Rio de Janeiro club.
Of the amount paid, 15% will be passed on to the player's staff , who will also receive a bonus of R$1.5 million and a starting salary set at R$300,000 per month. The transaction was revealed by the channel " Flazoeiro " in collaboration with the profile "Flabase."
Despite recently standing out with two goals against Botafogo in the U-20s, Matheus Gonçalves hadn't been getting opportunities in the senior squad under Filipe Luís. Even after expressing a desire to talk to the coach to understand his role , the youngster faced obstacles due to the fierce competition in the field.
"He has quality, but the group is very competitive. I'm counting on him, but opportunities depend on several factors ," said Filipe after Mengão's victory against São Paulo, in the Brasileirão, where the Mais Querido wins.
A product of the youth academy of the Rio de Janeiro team , Matheus Gonçalves played 52 professional games and had a loan spell at Red Bull Bragantino in 2023. The transfer to Cruzeiro represents, for the 18-year-old player, a concrete chance to establish himself among the starters and have a regular appearance on the field.
The former coach of Mais Querido arrives at the Saudi team with the mission of winning titles, given that all his rivals have already lifted trophies this season.

After progressing in negotiations with Al Nassr , former Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus was announced as the Saudi team's new manager. Jesus will now coach Cristiano Ronaldo, under contract until the end of 2026.
"It's official. Mr. Jorge Jesus has been hired as head coach of Al Nassr 's senior football team, with a one-season contract. We wish him and his team success in their journey with Al Nassr, God willing, " the Saudi club said on social media.
It's worth remembering that Jorge Jesus managed Al Nassr's biggest rival, Al-Hilal. With the Saudi Arabian blue team, the former Flamengo player had positive numbers. He played 99 matches, winning 80, drawing 10, and losing only nine. His success rate was 85%.
Thus, Jorge Jesus arrives at Al Nassr with the mission of becoming a champion in Saudi Arabia, as all of his rivals have won titles. Al-Hilal and Al Ittihad (SAU) finished first in the Saudi League. Finally, Al Ahli (SAU) won the Asian Champions League.
While Jorge Jesus continues his quest for titles in Saudi Arabia, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, is also seeking good results to remain leaders of the Brasileirão. The Most Beloved returns to the field on Wednesday (16), in a match against Santos, at Vila Belmiro.
