Real Madrid Legend pleads with Club to beat United to £25m-rated Star
"The player is a rising star, and he would be a great addition to our squad."
Real Madrid legend Guti has urged his former club to sign Manchester United target Facundo Pellistri, calling the player a "rising star" who would be a "great addition" to the squad. Pellistri, a Uruguayan winger, has been linked with a move to United in recent weeks, with the Red Devils reportedly preparing a £25 million bid for the player. However, Guti believes that Real Madrid should do everything they can to beat United to the signing of Pellistri.
"Pellistri is a great player," Guti said in an interview with Spanish newspaper AS. "He's young, he's fast, he's got good skills, and he's a good finisher. He would be a great addition to any team, and I think he would be a perfect fit for Real Madrid."
Pellistri has been in impressive form for United this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in 10 appearances for the club. The 19-year-old has also been capped twice by Uruguay, and he is widely regarded as one of the most promising young players in world football.
United are thought to be keen on signing Pellistri, but they face competition from Real Madrid, who are also said to be interested in the player. Guti's comments suggest that Real Madrid are serious about signing Pellistri, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat United to the player's signature.
Here are some of Pellistri's key stats from the 2022/23 season:
- Goals: 3
- Assists: 2
- Appearances: 10
- Minutes played: 569
- Shots per game: 1.8
- Key passes per game: 1.2
- Dribbles per game: 2.3
- Pass success rate: 83.3%
