Arsenal Eye Move to Sign Matias Fernandez-Pardo
Arsenal are monitoring the 21-year-old Belgium international after he produced 15 goal contributions last season, but Lille want more than €70 million.
- Arsenal have added Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo to their attacking shortlist as the summer transfer window approaches, with Lille reportedly demanding a fee exceeding €70 million for the 21-year-old.
- Lille President Olivier Letang previously insisted the forward was not for sale, citing his contract running through 2029 and stating the club is counting on him despite transfer speculation.
- Fernandez-Pardo recorded 15 goal contributions in 2025/26, demonstrating tactical flexibility as both a winger and a number nine, making him an attractive prospect despite his high valuation.
- Equipe previously reported that "Liverpool and Chelsea are also in the race, but there" is no suggestion any clubs are close to completing a signing, intensifying competition for Fernandez-Pardo.
- If no resolution occurs by Friday, Lille may call upon Fernandez-Pardo for their match against Paris Saint-Germain, as the player hopes the two clubs finalize an agreement in coming weeks.
