Brazilian side Botafogo have reportedly made an approach to sign Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri on loan with an option to buy for a fixed fee.
According to a report from Globo Esporte, the Uruguayan - who arrived at Old Trafford from Penarol in the summer of 2020 - is a target for Botafogo. It adds that the Brazilian outfit made a formal offer for the 21-year-old on Tuesday and are now waiting on a response from the Reds, as well as the player.
The report claims that the Serie A side, who currently sit 11th in the table, want United to cover 50 per cent of his wages during the loan spell. Luis Castro's side reportedly view the 21-year-old as a 'great market opportunity'.
