PSG probably has its third summer recruit. A defender unknown in France paid a high price.
More careful with spending this summer than in previous off-seasons, PSG has been moving cautiously so far in its transfer window. After getting its hands on Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov and Portuguese star Joao Neves, the Parisian staff is said to have its third summer recruit. A defender by the name of Willian Pacho.
For many, the player is unknown to the battalion, for Bundesliga followers, the 22-year-old Ecuadorian, who appeared to his advantage during the Copa America, is an already recognized talent. Transferred from Antwerp a year ago, Willian Pacho exploded under the colors of Frankfurt, where he established himself as one of the best full-backs in the German elite.
+36 million in one year
There remains an investment that can be questioned. The German press reported an envelope of 45 million euros for the young left-hander trained at Independiente del Valle. When Eintracht poached him in Belgium for 9 million euros a year earlier. With such an amount bet on an element that still has a lot to prove a priori, PSG seems to fall back into its old ways despite the promises.
Capable of playing with ease in a two or three-headed central defense, Willian Pacho will in any case necessarily be useful to Luis Enrique, in a defense without Presnel Kimpembe and Lucas Hernandez. And while Milan Skriniar was able to show his limits last season – physically in particular. Alongside Marquinhos, the Ecuadorian will certainly be in competition with Lucas Beraldo. In a pivotal exercise for PSG.
