The talent of the young Uruguayan is not going unnoticed, as he has already made 23 appearances for Manchester United since 2022, indicating a constant presence in the plans of the English team. His versatility and technical abilities not only attract the attention of European clubs but also signal a potential shift to the emerging landscape of American soccer.

Pellistri's possible transfer to the LA Galaxy could mark a significant turning point in Major League Soccer (MLS), providing the league with an extra dose of competitiveness and elevating its status on the international scene. The entry of a European-caliber player like Pellistri would not only enrich the technical level of the league but also attract global attention, solidifying the MLS as an attractive platform for rising talents.
