RB Leipzig has emerged as a contender for Belgian international Matias Fernandez-Pardo, a 21-year-old forward currently with Lille OSC. Reports indicate that the German club has submitted a bid of €35 million, which includes potential add-ons, though negotiations are said to be ongoing.
Lille has maintained a strong position regarding Fernandez-Pardo's future, refusing to entertain his departure. This comes even after the player reportedly sought to force an exit by missing a preseason match. Adding to the transfer interest, Atlético de Madrid had previously submitted an offer around €35 million for the forward.
Unlike some of his teammates who have release clauses, Fernandez-Pardo does not possess such an option to facilitate a summer move. Lille's valuation of the player is reportedly €70 million, a figure significantly higher than his estimated market worth.
