Atlético Madrid make €35m offer for Matias Fernandez-Pardo | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, Atlético Madrid have submitted a €35m bid, including bonuses, for Lille’s Belgian forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo. Lille are holding off on an immediate decision.

The offer has not been rejected, and president Olivier Létang is likely to try to negotiate a higher price.

Only a few days ago Létang said the 21-year-old is under contract until 2029 and that a departure is not under discussion. He added that the club count on the player and that the stance has been made clear to him.

At that time, no firm, priced proposal had arrived. This is the first concrete approach to land on Lille’s desk.

Whether the figure alters Lille’s position remains to be seen, with Létang regarded as a tough negotiator.

Other clubs, particularly from England, could also enter the race in the coming days.
