Hull City, a newly promoted Premier League side, is considering Facundo Pellistri, a 24-year-old Uruguayan winger whom Panathinaikos has placed on the transfer market. The player has reportedly been proposed to the English club; however, the situation has not progressed and no formal offers have yet been made. A close business relationship between the owners of the two clubs, Acun Ilicali and Giannis Alafouzos, supports the connection.
Pellistri's contract with Panathinaikos is for two more years. Manchester United retains approximately 50% of his rights, a buy-back clause, and the right to match any offer Panathinaikos receives until the end of the next season. The Uruguayan international has 39 caps and 2 goals for his country. During the 2025/2026 season, he made 25 appearances in the Super League 1, scoring 1 goal and providing 5 assists. His current Transfermarkt market value is €5.00m, and he has also been linked with Boca Juniors and Zenit. In February 2026, Panathinaikos reportedly rejected a €7 million offer from Zenit.
