Manchester United chiefs are preparing to sell Facundo Pellistri in January.
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting United are looking for potential buyers who would be willing to sign the Uruguayan (seven caps) in January.
Romano's comments arrive after his agent Edgardo Lasalvia declared this week Pellistri would likely leave in midseason.
He said: "If he plays a good World Cup, then he urgently needs to change."
Pellistri was twice on loan with Alavés over the past two seasons.
