Alafouzou to Sell Pelistri

Panathinaikos is considering selling Facundo Pellistri in the summer, as the Uruguayan has failed to deliver the expected performance for the team. Despite initial expectations, Pellistri has suffered from injuries and missed important opportunities in crucial games. According to information, the sale of Pellistri was discussed as early as January, but it was decided to keep him on the team. However, the management of Panathinaikos appears to have made the final decision to transfer him in the summer, in order to increase its revenues and maintain cost control. Manchester United is said to have been aware of Pellistri's weaknesses when they sold him, while Panathinaikos recognizes that the player has reached the ceiling of his abilities. The sale of Pellistri will be an opportunity for Panathinaikos to strengthen its finances ahead of the summer transfers.
