Newcastle United strike €60m agreement to sign Matias Fernandez-Pardo from Lille

Newcastle United have struck an agreement with Lille OSC over the transfer of Matias Fernandez-Pardo (21) to the Magpies, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 21-year-old winger has been pushing for a move away from Les Dogues. The Belgium international winger is expected to fly to Tyneside in order to complete the transfer’s formalities and undergo a medical. Romano adds that Newcastle are set to pay a €60m transfer fee plus add-ons to the Ligue 1 side.

Fernandez-Pardo has been linked with an exit from LOSC all summer. Newcastle United have been the keenest suitor for the Belgium international, who competed at this summer’s FIFA World Cup. The Magpies needed attacking reinforcements following Anthony Gordon’s sale to FC Barcelona. Lille already anticipated Fernandez-Pardo by signing Feyenoord striker Ayase Ueda.
