Liverpool are now competing with Europe’s biggest clubs to secure the signature of Matias Fernandez-Pardo. The Premier League side have entered the race for the Lille OSC forward, who carries a price tag of €70 million.
The 21-year-old attacker has caught the attention of several top teams across the continent. Manchester United and Manchester City are also monitoring the situation, according to reports from Italy. German champions Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have shown interest too.
Como, who will play in the Champions League next season, are another club tracking the Belgian star. However, Liverpool’s entry into the race adds significant competition for his services.
