Matias Fernandez-Pardo, a 21-year-old Belgian international centre-forward, has drawn interest from clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Atlético Madrid. It is reported that Fernandez-Pardo wants to leave Lille.
The player has spoken with club president Olivier Letang, who had also met with Fernandez-Pardo's new agent the previous day. Letang's position was that the player will not leave this summer. The president stated that Fernandez-Pardo's departure is not a topic for discussion because he is under contract until 2029, and added that he has never approved a sale. Letang also conveyed that the club has been clear with the player that they are counting on him.
The Belgian international, who has five caps for his country, joined Lille in August 2024. Last season, he scored 12 goals and made 8 assists in 51 Ligue 1 appearances. His current market value is €35.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
