Foot/ Mercato: PSG set to secure William Pacho from Eintracht Frankfurt

Following Leny Yoro’s move to Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain has swiftly pivoted to alternative options and is now on the verge of signing a promising central defender.

The Parisian club is close to acquiring 22-year-old Ecuadorian William Pacho, who not only brings youth but also the advantage of being left-footed.

According to reports from RMC Sport, PSG and Pacho have reached an agreement on a five-year contract.

The deal now hinges on Eintracht Frankfurt, Pacho’s current club, agreeing on the payment terms for the transfer fee, which is approximately €40 million.

This strategic acquisition by PSG is seen as a preparation for life after Presnel Kimpembe, who has suffered another injury setback.

Pacho’s arrival would add depth and versatility to the PSG defense, addressing a critical need with Kimpembe’s recurring injuries.

As the club looks to maintain its competitive edge both domestically and in Europe, securing Pacho’s services underscores PSG’s proactive approach in fortifying its squad with young talent.

The move is expected to be finalized once Eintracht Frankfurt and PSG iron out the financial details, bringing the Ecuadorian defender to the French capital.

This transfer reflects PSG’s commitment to building a robust and dynamic team for the future.
