   ​Liverpool Have Made An Enquiry For This Lille Talent: Should Iraola Move In For Him?In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Liverpool have made an enquiry for Lille talent Matias Fernandez-Pardo. It has been mentioned that the Reds are facing competition from Manchester City and Aston Villa in the race to land the Belgian forward, who is being valued at €70m by the French club.Fernandez-Pardo’s Impressive Numbers In Ligue 1Fernandez-Pardo enjoyed an impressive campaign at the French club in the previous campaign when he put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 21-year-old scored eight times and earned seven assists in 41 matches for Lille last season on all fronts.The Belgian talent is currently among the best young strikers in Ligue 1. Therefore, the Reds would do well to win the race for his services this month.His current contract at the French club will run out in the summer of 2029, so Liverpool have no choice but to meet Lille’s demands if they want to sign Fernandez-Pardo in this transfer window.INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 21: Matias Fernandez-Pardo #26 of Belgium reacts after the scoreless draw in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group G match between Belgium and IR Iran at Los Angeles Stadium on June 21, 2026 in Inglewood, California.

He has the vision to engineer some decent chances for his teammates in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.The Belgian sensation has already added a handful of goals and assists to his game. Fernandez-Pardo is primarily a centre-forward but can also fill in as a winger on either flank if required. However, it remains to be seen whether he can cope with the physical demands and high intensity of the Premier League if the Reds manage to bring him on board this month.We can expect Fernandez-Pardo to bring more quality and depth to Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at Anfield in the coming seasons.At 21, Fernandez-Pardo has the potential to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each year. He is capable of helping Liverpool challenge across all competitions in the future. Therefore, Iraola would be wise to move in for Fernandez-Pardo before the end of this transfer window.
