Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt defender William Pacho and his performances this season ahead of a move in the summer.
That’s according to SportBILD, who say the 22-year-old regularly talks to fellow Ecuadorian Moises Caicedo about the Premier League and could perhaps secure that dream move sooner rather than later.
That’s because Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are ‘already monitoring’ his performances and have occasionally sent scouts to Eintracht Frankfurt games to watch him. Real Madrid and Napoli also have him in their sights.
Pacho has shown rapid development with the German side after arriving in a €9m deal in the summer as a player to be developed long-term.
They were eyeing a potential sale in 2025 or 2026 but his rapid development and rise means that a departure in the summer is now realistic.
Eintracht would not be happened to see him leave this summer and are keen to keep him but would sanction a deal if they received a fee around €60m.
Whether Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United would pay such a fee isn’t mentioned but that’s the figure being touted at this point.
Pacho, for his part, is planning a meeting with sports director Markus Krösche and his advisors during the summer and has told the latter he will only listen to enquiries at that point and not before.
He’s focused on continuing to improve and potentially make himself more attractive to Premier League suitors, who are already considering him and watching how he develops.
