Liverpool are interested in signing 21-year-old Belgian attacker Matias Fernandez-Pardo from LOSC Lille this summer.
Matias Fernandez-Pardo has been in impressive form for Ligue 1 outfit LOSC Lille, and his performances have attracted the attention of multiple clubs. Liverpool will face competition from Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund for his signature, as per a report by French outlet Foot Mercato.
These are not the only clubs to have recently shown interest in the youngster, who has reportedly been linked with Newcastle United as well. Fernandez-Pardo is a versatile young attacker who can operate as a centre-forward as well as a winger. He will add goals and creativity to the team.
The promising winger has 15 goal contributions (8 goals and 7 assists in 41 appearances) this season, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool. Even though the Reds have invested in highly-rated attackers, they need more quality on the flanks.
The Merseyside outfit have not been able to properly replace Luis Diaz since he joined Bayern Munich last summer. The Belgian attacker could prove to be an excellent option for them. His ability to slot into multiple roles could make him an asset for the club.
