Liverpool interested in €65m rated Eintracht defender Willian Pacho next summer
The German club has slapped €65 million price on the centre-back
Willian Pacho, an international for Ecuador, is reportedly in negotiations to move to Liverpool, according to a Foot Mercato source.
Liverpool have designated Pacho as their top summer signing, and as a result, transfer negotiations have started. The player’s agency has also been in discussions with the two key teams, Liverpool and Eintracht Frankfurt. The Bundesliga team has made it clear what they want: €65 million for the Ecuadorian international, plus bonuses.
Although Brassier was linked to moves to AS Monaco, AC Milan, and Porto in the past, he finally stayed with Les Pirates in January despite strong interest in him.
Considering that Pacho might move to Anfield later this year, Eintracht Frankfurt has started looking for alternatives. Foot Mercato claims that the Bundesliga team has Lillian Brasier on its shortlist. At Stade Brestois, the Frenchman has had a breakout season, and the Breton team is poised to qualify for the next European competition.

According to recent sources, Pacho, 22, of Frankfurt, who moved from Royal Antwerp last summer, is having a great first season in the Bundesliga. It was alleged that both Liverpool and Arsenal had made preliminary queries about him.
It is said that Frankfurt are aware of the Premier League’s increasing interest in Pacho and that they might be persuaded to let go of the Ecuadorian for a price tag of €50–60 million (£43–51 million).
Pacho signed a five-year contract with Frankfurt last summer when he decided to switch from Belgium to Germany, and his current agreement with the team lasts until 2028.
Frankfurt acquired Pacho in June of last year for a meagre €9 million (£7.6 million), and should earn handsomely from the centre-defender should he proceed with his transfer to the Premier League. Pacho has the potential to become “world-class,” according to Frankfurt head coach Dino Toppmoller if he stays grounded and follows the same path.
