Newcastle United make first Matias Fernandez-Pardo move with €45m offer to Lille | OneFootball

Matias Fernandez-Pardo has been linked with a move away from Lille this summer.

The 21-year-old Belgian has been linked with multiple clubs, and Newcastle United have now made their first move to sign the player. They have submitted an offer of around €45 million to sign the dynamic attacker, according to L’Equipe.

Matias Fernandez-Pardo attracts Newcastle interest

He can operate centrally as well as in the wide areas. Newcastle need more quality in the final third, and Fernandez-Pardo will help create opportunities for them and score goals as well. He had 15 goal contributions for the French outfit last season, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.

The 21-year-old has physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he could be an asset for Newcastle in the long term. It remains to be seen whether the French outfit is prepared to sanction his departure.

Reports suggest they could demand close to €70 million for the attacker. Fernandez-Pardo is a talented player with a bright future, but he is still largely unproven at the highest level. The offer from Newcastle seems quite significant, and it remains to be seen whether it is accepted.

Fernandez-Pardo could boost Newcastle attack

Newcastle need quality additions in order to bounce back after a disappointing season last year, and signing a dynamic attacker like Fernandez-Pardo would be a wise decision.

Fernandez-Pardo has shown his quality in Ligue 1, and he will be looking to make his mark in English football as well. Newcastle could be the ideal stepping stone for the player. They could provide him with regular opportunities at the highest level, helping him fulfil his potential. He could then move on to bigger clubs in future.
