According to the latest report from well-known Italian journalist Niccolò Scilla, English Premier League powerhouse Southampton FC is actively trying to bring in the 19-year-old winger star Fernandez Pardo from Belgian side Gent. The news immediately drew a lot of attention from the soccer world, after all, the young player's performance in recent years has attracted the attention of several European giants.
Fernandez Pardo, a dual Belgian-Spanish national, is a flexible player who can play as a left winger as well as a second striker. As a young player, he has shown great talent and potential, and has become a rising star in European soccer.
Fernandez Pardo has been making a name for himself in Ghent's youth system and was promoted to the first team last season. Throughout the season, he made 19 appearances for Ghent's first team, including 12 starts, and contributed 8 goals and 2 assists, which is quite impressive for a young player of only 19 years old. His outstanding performance has not only won the recognition of fans and teammates, but also attracted the attention of many European giants.
Prior to this, Fernandez Pardo had been linked in the media with a move to European giants such as Roma, Lazio and AC Milan. However, now Southampton have taken the lead and have begun talks with Gent over the transfer of the young winger. This shows that Southampton have a strong interest in Fernandez-Pardo and are willing to work for it.
It is worth noting that Gent's asking price for Fernandez Pardo is quite high and according to some media outlets before this, their bid has reached €15 million. However, this hasn't stopped Southampton from pursuing the bid. On the contrary, they are actively communicating and negotiating with Gent, hoping to sign the young star at a reasonable price.
For Southampton, the addition of Fernandez Pardo will undoubtedly inject new vigor and strength into the team. His arrival will further enrich the team's tactical play and enhance the team's attacking power and competitiveness. At the same time, he will also become one of the important pillars of the team's future development, laying a solid foundation for the team's long-term development.
