Chelsea are willing to pay up to €60 million for the transfer of Paris Saint-Germain defender Willian Pacho.
The talented 23-year-old only joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer, and has started well with some impressive performances at the Parc des Princes.
PSG surely won’t want to let Pacho go so soon after signing him, though files reports that Chelsea are still keen to bring the Ecuador international into their squad as a key part of their blueprint.
Chelsea already have plenty of quality in defense in the likes of Levi Colwill, Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo, but one imagines the Blues could benefit from bringing in more options to increase the depth of their squad.
Thiago Silva left Stamford Bridge in the summer, while Benoit Badiashile and Axel Disasi have not been entirely convincing, so there could be room for Pacho to bolster Chelsea’s options in that area of the pitch.
Is the transfer of Willian Pacho realistic for Chelsea?
Fichajes insists PSG do not want to sell Pacho, but Chelsea could be willing to pay big money for him, and it will be interesting to see if the Ligue 1 giants end up bowing to that pressure.
CFC fans will no doubt be keen to see their club continue to build on the best young players in the world, of which Pacho is surely one.
The west London giants have done some smart recruiting under their current owners, with young talents like Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson finally starting to show their potential.
Pacho could be another to come in and give Chelsea a good long-term option and help them improve and get even closer to challenging for trophies in the near future.
