Newcastle unlikely to sign Matias Fernandez-Pardo, despite final offer | OneFootball

Newcastle United have an interest in Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo (21), but a move for the Belgium international appears unlikely this summer. The Athletic understand that the Magpies admire the 21-year-old and have monitored his situation, but they do not currently expect a deal to materialise.

Fernandez-Pardo has emerged as one of Lille’s promising young attacking players since making the move to the French club from Gent in 2024. Capable of operating across the frontline, his versatility has made him an attractive option for clubs looking to add youth and depth to their attack. However, despite Newcastle’s appreciation of his qualities, the current expectation is that the Premier League side will not be successful in their pursuit of the Belgian international attacker.

Newcastle to submit final offer for Fernandez-Pardo

Sacha Tavolieri understands that the Premier League club are set to submit a final offer for his services. With Newcastle continuing to assess attacking options, Fernandez-Pardo remains a player they like, but interest is unlikely to progress into a transfer this summer.
