TMW: Milan lead competitors in race for €15m-rated Gent winger

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are interesting in signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo and they currently lead a very congested race, according to a report.

TMW recently reported that Milan are following Fernandez-Pardo closely after an explosive end to the last season. He started only two games during the regular season for Gent but then in the play-offs he caught fire, scoring seven goals and adding two assists in 10 games at the age of just 19.

Now, the same source are stating that the Milan directors have had new contacts over the teenager, who in the meantime has also been sounded out by Roma and Lazio. The Rossoneri are ahead, because they began the discussions a while ago and they have become more concrete.

Fernandez-Pardo’s numbers have attracted the interest of the German champions Bayer Leverkusen who are also always attentive to young talent and have provided a launching pad for various players in the recent past. However, TMW state that Milan are ahead of the Bundesliga side too.

Gent value him at €15m which is deemed a high figure and that is why Geoffrey Moncada and co. have enlisted the help of intermediaries to try and lower the sum for a player who until March had only played 15 minutes in the first team.

  1. Wut? We randomly gonna pay €15mn for a winger? Unless we move Pulisic to no.10 this doesn’t seem an area we’d likely strengthen. And we don’t have Man City-cash where we can afford to blow €15mn on a prospect then loan him elsewhere for a few seasons.

      1. Lol, seriously? Because if I’m 19 and breaking into the Gent first team, I stay in Ghent to play in the Gent first team, instead of going to Serie C. Just saying.

    1. Then find us an Italian that can play now a days. Euro pretty much showed you the state of what is Italy producing since imposing the rule of protecting Italians and not alliwung to compete. EPL that has ooened up shiws you what happened when you do that as a league, and even boaring Brits habe now exciting players.

      Why dont you go and buy some sheep and go back to middle age mountains where you belong
