Manchester United have reportedly reached an agreement with Alaves for Facundo Pellistri to spend the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign on loan with the La Liga outfit.
Club Brugge had emerged as suitors for the 19-year-old, who is yet to make his first-team debut for United since arriving from Penarol last summer.
However, Pellistri is said to have favoured a switch to Spain, with Alaves recently named as the favourites to sign the Uruguayan on a six-month loan deal.
According to the Manchester Evening News, a deal has now been agreed with the La Liga club, and the teenager will travel to Spain over the weekend to finalise a move.
Pellistri has scored three times at Under-21s and Under-23s level for United but has recently been unavailable for selection due to a positive coronavirus test.
Alaves currently sit 18th in the La Liga table ahead of this weekend's clash with Getafe.
