Liverpool is reportedly looking to bring in Eintracht Frankfurt’s standout defender, Willian Pacho, this summer, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. With Joel Matip set to depart as a free agent at the end of the season, Liverpool is actively searching for a replacement, focusing on a left-footed centre-back to strengthen their defense.
In recent weeks, several names have been linked with Liverpool, including Goncalo Inacio and Levi Colwill. However, Pacho has emerged as a notable candidate, catching the club’s attention through his impressive performances for Frankfurt this season.
Romano revealed on GiveMeSport that Liverpool has been closely monitoring Pacho’s progress throughout the season. Despite their keen interest, no formal discussions have begun with either Pacho’s representatives or Frankfurt. Romano emphasized that while Liverpool appreciates Frankfurt’s style and talents, any potential deal for Pacho remains in the preliminary stages.
Frankfurt is reportedly open to selling Pacho if they receive an offer of at least £43 million. This price tag means Liverpool would need to make a significant investment to secure the Ecuadorian defender’s services. At 22 years old, Pacho is seen as a promising talent who could be a valuable addition to Liverpool’s defensive lineup.
Liverpool fans will be eager to see if the club moves forward with their interest in Pacho as the summer transfer window approaches. With Matip’s departure confirmed, the acquisition of a strong, left-footed centre-back like Pacho could be crucial for Liverpool’s defensive strategy next season.
