Liverpool remain in the market for reinforcements in attack and face a race against time to sign players before the transfer deadline.
The Reds remain locked in talks to sign Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola from PSG and have also had two bids turned down for Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh.
Earlier this summer, various sources confirmed that Liverpool want to sign Matias Fernandez-Pardo, who is looking to move on from Lille.
And now, Fabrizio Romano reports that the Belgian international has received an official bid from RB Leipzig.
Liverpool target Matias Fernandez-Pardo on the move
“EXCLUSIVE: RB Leipzig submit official bid to Lille for Matias Fernandez-Pardo,” wrote Romano on X.
“Proposal worth €35m, package add-ons included, has been received by president Letang this morning, personally working on this deal.
“Negotiations ongoing as Leipzig want Pardo.”
It remains to be seen if Liverpool react. Over the years, the Reds have let other teams conduct negotiations, only to swoop in at the last minute.
Deals to sign Luis Diaz from Porto and Victor Munoz from Osasuna were of the same ilk, with the two players initially set to sign for Tottenham and Newcastle United, respectively.
That said, it appears as if the Reds are focused on deals for Barcola, Mbaye and Minteh.
If any of those deals fall through, maybe they will make an offer for Fernandez-Pardo, although they are running out of time as Leipzig have made an official offer for him.
