Manchester United target Pietro Pellegri is a young Zlatan Ibrahimovic – agent

MANCHESTER UNITED target Pietro Pellegri has been likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic by his agent Giuseppe Riso.
Pietro Pellegri has been turning heads for Genoa in Serie A and is reportedly being tracked by a number of top European clubs.

Manchester United, Chelsea and French giants Paris Saint-Germain are all said to have been running the rule over the 16-year-old striker.

And Pellegri’s agent Giuseppe Riso is not surprised the big clubs are coming knocking, comparing his client to a young Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

“We are talking about a very powerful striker,” Riso told French outlet FootMercato.
“Let’s just say he has the characteristics of a young Zlatan Ibrahimovic.




“He’s not just a revelation in Italy, but one of the best young European players.

“Don’t forget, at the age of 16, he bagged a brace against Lazio.

“It’s not surprising he has been linked with PSG, as many big European clubs are tracking him.”
Pellegri has begun to establish himself in Genoa’s first team and has made four Serie A appearances this term, scoring twice.

Last term he made 22 appearances for the Italian side at all age levels, scoring nine goals.

Predominantly a centre-forward, he can also operate on the right-wing.

He is under contract at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris until June 2019.
