Newcastle Pushes for French Forward in Final Hours of Transfer Window

Newcastle United's management is reportedly making every effort to secure Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo before the transfer window closes, according to local outlet "The Chronicle." The Magpies at St. James' Park are aware that this will be a challenging deal, as "Les Dogues" have slapped a hefty €60 million price tag on their player. The 21-year-old Belgian recorded eight goals and seven assists last season but missed the opening round of Ligue 1 due to suspension.

The Magpies have undergone a significant transformation this summer, parting ways with key players such as Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, and Anthony Gordon, while Matias Jaissle replaced Eddie Howe. Despite these changes, Newcastle has started the campaign strongly, securing a draw against Liverpool in their opener and an impressive victory over Tottenham in London.
