Liverpool interested in signing Willian Pacho this summer
Liverpool They are reportedly interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt star Willian Pacho this summer, according to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
It already looked likely that the Reds would let Joel Matip leave the club as a free agent at the end of this campaign and now the club have confirmed this ahead of their final game of this season.
Thus, it seems that the Merseyside club has already begun to explore the market to sign a new center-back as a possible replacement for the Cameroonian.
Liverpool are apparently planning to sign a new left-footed centre-back as they have been linked with a few names in recent weeks. Gonçalo Inácio and Levi Colwill have been mentioned as potential targets, but Pacho is also reportedly on their radar.
speaking in GiveMeSport, Roman has reported that Liverpool have closely followed Frankfurt's performances this season and have been impressed by some of the Eagles' talents, including Pacho.

The journalist also claims that Liverpool have followed the Ecuadorian's development this season before making a possible move this summer. However, Roman claims that the Reds have not started any official talks with the player's representatives or Frankfurt to finalize this deal and it remains to be seen if things change in the coming weeks.
Romano said:
“Right now I hear that Pacho has been one of the players they have been monitoring. They have been very attentive to Eintracht's situation, so they appreciate the way they play and believe that there are some very talented players there. Liverpool have been scouting and following the player, but there is still no negotiation between clubs or from the player to the club. It is still early.”
It was previously reported that Frankfurt could be open to cashing in on Pacho this summer if they receive a transfer offer. at least £43 million. Therefore, Liverpool will have to spend a considerable amount of money to sign the South American in the off-season.
The 22-year-old is a talented player and could be a shrewd signing for Liverpool if they buy him. However, it will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club ultimately opt to secure his signature in the next window to bolster their defensive line.
