Newcastle has reportedly initiated talks for Lille's Belgian winger, Mathias Fernandez-Pardo, according to French newspaper L'Equipe. Lille president Olivier Létang remains steadfast in his intention not to sell the Belgian, especially without securing a replacement. However, the interested clubs appear ready to accelerate negotiations.
Following Atlético Madrid, Newcastle has now entered concrete discussions to sign the winger. The English club possesses significantly greater financial power than its Spanish counterpart and could table an offer substantial enough to make Lille's management reconsider.
An offer of approximately 40 million euros has been submitted to the French club, with potential add-ons pushing the total to 45 million. For his part, Mathias Fernandez-Pardo is resolute in his desire to leave Lille, despite the prospect of playing in the Champions League. The final week of the transfer window is shaping up to be exceptionally tense.
