Paris Saint-Germain have today announced the signing of 22-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho. The Ecuadorian has signed a contract with the Parisien club until 2029, while SGE will receive an initial €40m which can increase to €45m through bonus payments.
“We are delighted to welcome Willian Pacho to the Paris Saint-Germain family. Willian is a fantastic young international player – and the latest top talent to join our Club. At Paris Saint-Germain we continue to build our project based on an amazing, young talented team – and most important, the collective team,” said Paris Saint-Germain President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
Eintracht Frankfurt receive a substantial return on Pacho after spending €13.65m to sign the Ecuador international from Royal Antwerp in 2023. During his time in Germany, Pacho established himself as a key player at the Hessen club, playing 44 games across all competitions.
Pacho was central to Eintracht’s excellent defence last season which conceded just 50 goals in 34 Bundesliga games with only five teams conceding fewer. Predominantly playing in a back three, the 22-year-old created a formidable partnership alongside Tuta and Robin Koch.
