RB Leipzig enter race for Lille’s Matias Fernandez-Pardo

RB Leipzig enter race for Lille’s Matias Fernandez-Pardo According to a report from Fabrizio Romano , RB Leipzig have entered the race for Lille OSC’s Matias Fernandez-Pardo (21). The Bundesliga side have reportedly submitted a €35m bid (with add-ons included) for the Belgian international; negotiations are thought to be ongoing.  So far, Lille have been steadfast in their refusal to countenance a departure for the forward. Even after Fernandez-Pardo attempted to force an exit by skipping the club’s final preseason fixture against Everton. L’Équipe wrote at the start of the month that Atlético de Madrid had also sent an offer worth around €35m for the player.  Unlike his soon-to-be ex-teammate , Ayyoub Bouaddi (18), Fernandez-Pardo does not have an exit voucher to leave Lille this summer. Les Dogues have previously been quoted as setting their asking price for him at €70m, double what his market value appears to be.  GFFN | Nick Hartland
