Liverpool are in contact with agents of Willian Pacho, who is valued around £50 million by Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of the summer.
According to Daily Mirror, Liverpool are prioritising a move for Willian Pacho ahead of the summer and have already initiated contacts with agents of the Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back. The Ecuadorian defender has plenty of other suitors, including Arsenal. But the Merseysiders are likely to begin with their push for the centre-back, who will cost £50 million.
Liverpool contact Willian Pacho’s agents
Liverpool are set to begin their defensive overhaul once the current disappointing season comes to a close. There are some hard decisions to be made, with a left-footed centre-back seemingly one of their priority targets ahead of the next window.
A recent report has insisted that incoming manager Arne Slot wants Goncalo Inacio as his preferred option for the left-footed centre-back role. However, it appears that Eintracht Frankfurt’s £50 million-rated Willian Pacho could have emerged as a priority target for Liverpool.
Arsenal are in the race for the Ecuadorian defender, although they probably need to prioritise another position, as a right-sided star might be on Mikel Arteta’s mind. Hence, Liverpool, who are in the race for the Eintracht Frankfurt man, valued at £50 million by the Bundesliga giants.
Liverpool could also propose a buy-to-loan offer, something Frankfurt will likely reject. The Reds are already in contact with his agents, which shows they intend to bring the £50 million-rated centre-back to the club next summer, although many fans will hope he is not a replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
Liverpool’s defensive overhaul
Liverpool could make many changes to their backline in the summer, including some key departures; Virgil van Dijk’s future remains uncertain, while Joe Gomez is considering an exit to have a more prominent role elsewhere, with a return to London mooted for the versatile 26-year-old defender.
There are also departures expected for Joel Matip, meaning they might target at least two new centre-backs in the summer. There are links with a few full-backs for Liverpool, which could mean higher competition for places next season under Slot.
