Newcastle considering a move for Matias Fernandez-Pardo after losing out on Victor Munoz to Liverpool | OneFootball

After Liverpool hijacked their move for Victor Munoz (22), Newcastle are interested in signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo (21) from Lille as a potential alternative to the Spanish international forward, according to The Athletic. The Magpies are looking to bolster their attacking options during the summer transfer window. 

The Premier League club have already seen their attacking options weakened. With Anthony Gordon departing for Barcelona, Newcastle are keen to recruit new additions for their forward line. Munoz was their priority target. However, after Liverpool expressed an interest, he had a change of heart and ultimately moved to Anfield. Fernandez-Pardo has emerged as a potential alternative for Eddie Howe. 

Liverpool and Aston Villa also interested in Fernandez-Pardo

Newcastle are one of many clubs interested in potentially signing the Belgian international forward during the summer. Liverpool and Aston Villa are also pondering a potential move for the 21-year-old, The Athletic understands.
