Cavani is a big fan of Pellistri, who escaped OL

This is enough to feed the regrets of Lyon supporters. While OL thought to complete the transfer of the promising Uruguayan striker Facundo Pellistri (18) during the last transfer window, the Rhone club was overtaken at the very last moment by Manchester United, who paid the player’s release clause (8 , 5 million euros) in Peñarol. The child from Montevideo will therefore join the Red Devils, where he will be able to meet a famous compatriot: a certain Edinson Cavani. The former Parisian, who carefully observed Pellistri’s beginnings in the country, braided laurels for him in an interview on the official United website.

“I enjoyed him from the moment he made his first-team debut at Peñarol”

“Pellistri is a young boy and I really like the way he plays, observes the Matador. He’s the typical South American footballer, who has that playful nature in his game. The way he lives football is a bit as if he was on the campito, as they say in Uruguay. As if he was still on makeshift land, having fun with his friends. He is a young person who has a lot to learn but who also has a lot to offer. He has already shown what he can do in Peñarol, in the matches he has appeared in. “

And he has already seduced Cavani. “I enjoyed him from the moment he made his first-team debut at Peñarol, I even enjoyed him very much,” he continues. “He comes here undoubtedly determined to learn and mature as a player, but also to make his contribution. Learning his profession here will be a great experience for him. It will be nice to meet him and to do this part of the way together, in what is a new chapter for both of us. “
