Richard Hughes has other options too. After losing Yann Diomande, who has now joined Real Madrid, Liverpool have had to consider other options. Matias Fernandez-Pardo is also one of the players to keep an eye on. Fernandez-Pardo is an interesting name, having scored eight goals and five assists in Ligue 1 for Lille last season. He joined Lille from Gent for around €10 million in 2024 and has a contract until 2029.Lille club president Olivier Letang has now responded to their transfer interest in their valuable player. According to the report, Liverpool are showing interest in the Belgian, but his services are much needed by Lille this season. "The player wants to leave Lille this summer, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid all interested in securing his services," the report says.
Fernández-Pardo has contemplated the move for almost a year since last year and his recent change of agent – the third in the last two years – has not changed his desires.Letang has clarified that Fernandez-Pardo will not be sold, as he is needed to cover the absence of Hamza Igamane due to injury. He played there at the end of last season, scoring five goals and two assists.
"The player's contract is until 2029 and his departure is not an issue. We are trusting him, he knows that, and we have been very clear with him," Letang said. "They never had a release clause. Every player I've asked to leave has left. It's the same old story from last summer, with another new agent."
While a deal for Fernandez-Pardo may be possible in the future, at the moment it looks like his departure is unlikely.
What will happen next
Liverpool are now considering their forward options, which include Barcola and Fernandez-Pardo. Liverpool could face a huge sum for Barça in talks with PSG, while the situation with Lille's Fernandez-Pardo is also complicated. Liverpool will have to decide which players they want to move for, as several other clubs are also interested in these players.
