Liverpool’s pursuit of Frankfurt’s Willian Pacho seems to have hit a roadblock as the Ecuadorian defender is reportedly undergoing a medical with PSG. Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg revealed on social media that Pacho is set to sign a long-term contract with the French club, keeping him there until 2029.
This news comes as a blow to Liverpool, who were rumored to be interested in the Bundesliga talent. Despite reports of the Reds’ long-standing interest in Pacho, it seems that the player will be heading to Paris instead.
With Pacho out of the picture, Liverpool may turn their attention to other defensive targets. Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi has been mentioned as a possible option, but Newcastle United is said to have already made a move for the England international. The Reds have also been linked with Sporting Lisbon’s Goncalo Inacio, Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie, and Stade Rennais’ Arthur Theate.
According to reports, Liverpool have yet to make a formal approach for any of these players, but the club’s recruitment department will be keeping a close eye on potential opportunities in the transfer market this month.
In other news, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has spoken highly of Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, who could be Liverpool’s first signing of the summer. Romano praised Zubimendi’s talent and described him as a special midfielder with a unique footballing brain. The Spanish player has experience in the Champions League and the Spanish national team, making him a top-quality addition to any squad.
While Zubimendi is reportedly open to a move to Liverpool, negotiations between the two parties are still ongoing. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on this potential transfer as the summer window progresses.
In a recent interview with John Welsh, a former Liverpool player, he shared insights into his career as a local lad living his dream of playing for the Reds. Additionally, Slot’s LFC predictions have generated excitement among fans as they look forward to the upcoming season.
Overall, Liverpool’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements continues as they explore alternative options following the latest developments in the transfer market. Fans will be hoping for positive news in the coming weeks as the club looks to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.
