Tottenham intends to compete for 21-year-old Belgian Lille attacker Matias Fernandez-Pardo as they intend to strengthen their forward line. The likelihood of the Spurs attempting to sign him is increasing because the potential arrival of Savinho from Manchester City is being delayed. Atletico Madrid has already made a bid of 35 million euros for the player. Manchester City is also reportedly monitoring the situation.
Lille is reluctant to lose the player and is demanding a high price. Reports from August 2026 state that Lille will not begin discussions for less than €70 million. Fernandez-Pardo has 5 caps for Belgium and joined Lille from KAA Gent in August 2024 for a fee reported to be between €10 million and €11.5 million. His current contract runs until 2029. In the 2025/2026 season, he scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists in 51 Ligue 1 appearances. His current Transfermarkt market value is €35.00m.
