Liverpool attempted to “hijack” PSG target amid new Luis Diaz claim surfaces

Current rumours and news about transfers involving Liverpool includes updates on Willian Paccho and Luis Diaz.

Luis Diaz may be sold by Liverpool before the summer transfer window closes on August 30. The only Premier League team that hasn’t added any players this summer is Arne Slot’s team.

This summer, Diaz has been linked to a move away from Anfield, and before RB Leipzig signed Dani Olmo, Barcelona was mentioned as a possible suitor. Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly expressed interest as well.

Back in June, the 27-year-old surfaced as a possible candidate to sign for Newcastle United in exchange for Anthony Gordon, but the deal fell through. But according to Football Insider, Diaz’s departure is not completely out of the question.

The club allegedly would consider selling him if their £50 million valuation was satisfied. Gordon is still available for signing by Liverpool, who have just eighteen days to do so.

Once Fabio Carvalho’s transfer to Brentford was approved, selling Diaz may bring in more revenue. The 27-year-old is completely focused on the upcoming season and the new head coach, though.

He just posted on Instagram, writing, “Ready to new season,” and with emojis of a lightning bolt and flexed arm.

In other news, Liverpool tried to steal Willian Pacho in the final moments before he signed with PSG. Le 10 Sport, a French publication, reports that the Reds made a higher offer for the defender’s services than PSG did, but the defender declined because he had already made a commitment to the Parc des Princes officials.

The 22-year-old defender signed a five-year contract with Eintracht Frankfurt after the French champions paid a £34 million (€40 million) price.

Real Sociedad has ‘resigned’ to losing their star player, Martin Zubimendi, as his transfer to Liverpool approaches

Liverpool has been waiting patiently for a new midfield player, but Arne Slot’s team may soon be closing in on Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad.

According to reports, Real Sociedad seems content that Martin Zubimendi would go to Liverpool.

The Spain international Zubimendi has previously been associated with a number of Premier League teams, the most prominent of which being Arsenal. Although he had earlier stated that he would love to remain in San Sebastian and play for La Real in the Champions League, a move may now be imminent.

However, Liverpool has now entered the race in an attempt to make their first acquisition following the hiring of new manager Arne Slot. Prior to this, Zubimendi claimed to be “most comfortable” with Real Sociedad, but it could be difficult to turn down a high-ball offer.

It is believed that the 25-year-old has a £51.5 million release clause, although it is unclear if a lesser offer would still be sufficient. As of right now, the Basque Country’s local media report that a settlement is more likely than not.

According to Noticias de Gipuzkoa (via Sport Witness), the footballer is thinking of approaching Liverpool because they seem serious about making a move. An ‘climate of resignation’ is mentioned in the same source regarding Anoeta.

It’s said that Richard Hughes, the head of transfers at Liverpool, gets along well with Zubimendi’s representatives. Andoni Iraola, who was named manager of Bournemouth during Hughes’ tenure at the club, is represented by the same agency.

Since the midfield player’s contract expires in2027, there’s not really a pressing need to cash in. However, it will be beyond La Real’s control if Liverpool fulfils the release clause.

As Slot’s ideas started to pay off, Liverpool won three games out of three on their preseason tour of the United States. The former Feyenoord manager has been connected to several new players, but he has insisted that each one must live up to his high standards.

“We have so many good players so it is not so easy to first find a player to meet those standards and then is he available?” Slot stated. It’s not always simple to locate a player who can assist us, but Richard is putting a lot of effort into it. Let’s see where this goes. “Then we have to find an agreement with them.”

Liverpool, who placed third in the Premier League the previous year, will travel to newly promoted Ipswich Town to kick off their inaugural season under Slot. They play two friendlies against Las Palmas and Sevilla on August 11 before that, though.

LFC transfer news: Willian Pacho’s deal agreed following Arne Slot links, amid $33 million ‘talks held’

reports about a move involving Liverpool, as $33 million is reportedly being discussed in Spain. Although Willian Pacho was connected to the Reds this week, it appears that he is moving on.

As you are undoubtedly aware, Liverpool has not added any players under Arne Slot at this time. It is the only Premier League team that hasn’t added a player this summer. But that’s not the whole tale.

Behind-the-scenes work is taking place, and Slot has provided an explanation for this week’s lack of activity. “The bar is really high for new signings because we have so many good players,” remarked the Dutchman.

Finding a player who first satisfies those requirements is not so simple. It is not always simple to find a player that can assist us because we need to come to an arrangement with them. Richard is putting a lot of effort into it; we’ll see what transpires. We talk over the phone a lot while he isn’t present.

“Working with the team and getting them as ready as can for the first Premier League game has been my primary emphasis. He updates me while he works on stuff.” This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have been circulating about the Reds lately.

Mamardashvili Giorgi – (Valencia)

Giorgi Mamardashvili, the custodian for Valencia and Georgia, is reportedly close to joining Liverpool. With his national squad, he made a big impression at the European Championship held in Germany this past summer.

According to Spanish publication Revelo, Liverpool and La Liga team Valencia have previously discussed a transfer for the 23-year-old. It is reported that Mamardashvili would sign for $33 million (£26 million/€30 million) and would be leased out until Alisson Becker departs Anfield, at which point he might replace the Brazilian.

According to the report, Bournemouth is also considering a loan deal for Mamardashvili, who is now with Valencia. According to the report, Andoni Iraola is keen for Liverpool to loan him to another Premier League team.

According to Liverpool.com, Liverpool may have to make the decision to sign Mamardashvili now or later if they believe he is the best option available. Signing a custodian would be a surprise move even if Caoimhin Kelleher stays. Valencia is anticipated to go on despite a lot of interest because he has already signed a replacement.

Willian Pacho – (Eintracht Frankfurt)

Following a report in The Independent speculating that Liverpool may acquire Ecuadorian centre-back Willian Pacho for $64 million (£50 million/€58 million) from Eintracht Frankfurt, Sky Germany has hinted that PSG has started negotiations with the Bundesliga team regarding a deal.

According to reports, Pacho is amenable to a transfer to PSG and has already achieved a “total agreement” on personal matters. Shortly after the Ligue 1 powerhouse announced the signing of Joao Neves, the 19-year-old sensation who has also been connected to a move to Liverpool, it appears that the deal is almost complete.

According to Liverpool.com “Pacho is a good player, but $64 million would be a lot to spend on him,” writes Although the South American has talent, there are alternative products available that can offer better value.

‘World-Class’ 22-Year-Old Is Wanted by Liverpool

Liverpool may have a hectic summer as they get ready for Arne Slot’s new era.

Before making a possible summer transfer, Liverpool is keeping an eye on Eintracht Frankfurt central defender Willian Pacho, a source exclusively told GIVEMESPORT.

Jurgen Klopp’s anticipated successor With an eye on sustaining the success the Reds have enjoyed under the German manager, Arne Slot has a busy summer ahead of him.

Joel Matip is expected to leave the team at the conclusion of the season when his contract expires, making the defence a crucial area for reinforcements. Due to an ACL injury he suffered in the 4-3 victory over Fulham in early December, the 32-year-old has missed the most of the current campaign.

In recent weeks, the Reds have been connected to a number of centre backs, including Pacho of Frankfurt. Since last summer, Goncalo Inacio of Sporting CP and Levi Colwill of Chelsea have both been mentioned as potential targets for a move to Anfield.

Liverpool is keeping an eye on Pacho.

Pacho has been the subject of reports of interest in recent weeks as Premier League teams, particularly Liverpool, have taken notice of the defender’s Frankfurt play. With one game remaining, the 22-year-old international for Ecuador has only missed one Bundesliga match all season as they presently hold sixth place in the rankings.

Romano claims Pacho is one among the players Liverpool has looked at, with the team having a great appreciation for the way Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmoller’s team plays. Pacho’s defending has been referred to as “world-class” by Toppmoller. Negotiations have not yet taken place, nor has there been a formal approach.

He said to GIVEMESPORT:

According to what I’m hearing, Pacho has been one of the players they’ve been keeping an eye on. They’ve been paying close attention to the Eintracht situation, so they recognise the quality of the players there and like the way they play. “Liverpool has been monitoring and scouting the player, but neither the clubs nor the player have entered into any negotiations. It’s not too late.

“Liverpool has been monitoring and scouting the player, but neither the clubs nor the player have entered into any negotiations.

It’s not too late. Pacho started his senior career in his native Ecuador before moving to Belgium in January 2022 to play for Royal Antwerp in the Belgian Pro League. He advanced to the German Bundesliga with Frankfurt last summer, where he signed a 2028 deal.

Arsenal Is Competing for Paco as Well

Liverpool’s opponents Arsenal in the Premier League will probably compete with them if they try to sign Pacho during the next transfer window. For the majority of the league season, the two teams have been in a head-to-head competition at the top of the table; however, in the later parts of the campaign, the Gunners have maintained their lead over Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta might try to bolster his defensive ranks even more by adding Pacho, even if his defence is already among the best in the division. The defender, who would probably cost €50–60 million in transfer fees, is reportedly of interest to both Liverpool and Arsenal, according to a report published last month by Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany.

May 17, 2024
Liverpool is about to offer a new contract to a defender while two centre backs are being linked to transfers.

This season, Jarell Quansah has emerged as a revelation at the centre of Jurgen Klopp’s defence, and the Reds academy graduate now appears certain to stay longer on Merseyside.

Jarell Quansah, a defender for Liverpool, is expected to sign a lucrative new long-term contract at the end of the current campaign.

After winning over Jurgen Klopp, the 21-year-old centre back had an incredible debut season at Anfield, and he now appears destined for a major part under new manager Arne Slot.

Quansah only signed a new contract at this time last year, but Liverpool is willing to give him a hefty pay increase in light of his strong play at the back this season and his partnership with captain and coach Virgil van Dijk.

In the upcoming weeks, Liverpool and the England U21 international’s agency, CAA Base, are anticipated to begin negotiations over new terms. The club still intends to strengthen Slot’s defence by signing a new left-footed center-back, thus the decision will not affect their summer transfer plans.

Willian Pacho, a 22-year-old Colombian player for Eintracht Frankfurt, is one of the main targets; talks have already taken place with his agency, Kancha Agency, although Frankfurt may require a sum of money approaching £50 million before agreeing to a deal.

Pacho, who has played 90 minutes in all but one of Frankfurt’s Bundesliga games this season, is reportedly being watched by Arsenal and a number of other elite European teams.

Levi Colwill of Chelsea is another player for whom there has been long-standing affection, but the Blues are unlikely to consider selling, especially to a direct competitor.

After an impressive loan stint with Brighton, Liverpool gave the 21-year-old some attention last summer, but he ultimately decided to devote his future to Chelsea by staying at Stamford Bridge.

Joel Matip, a mainstay under Klopp, has an expiring contract at the end of the current campaign. While he continues his recuperation from ACL surgery in December, no decision has been taken regarding his future.

Sepp van den Berg, a youthful Dutch centre defender who signed well to play on loan with Mainz in Germany, could get an opportunity to make an impression during preseason.

At the end of the season, Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah will both have one year remaining on their present contracts; therefore, Liverpool is likely to give their contract situations first priority.

Van Dijk is said to be thrilled about the possibility of working with fellow countryman Slot, whom he has previously openly lauded during a recent interview with Viaplay following the 2-0 loss at Everton. The Reds intend to retain onto both of their key players.

Liverpool hopes to defeat Arsenal in the $64 million transfer battle by using the same tactic as Naby Keïta.

In 2017, Liverpool acquired Naby Keïta from RB Leipzig, despite being pursued by numerous other teams. The competition for a defensive target is similar for the Reds.

The summer acquisitions to Liverpool are already being linked to the team as the Anfield era draws nearer. There are just three games left under Jürgen Klopp’s leadership for the Reds, beginning on Sunday when Tottenham visits.

Arne Slot appears to be the favourite to succeed Klopp, since Liverpool and current team Feyenoord have already worked out a compensation plan. Given that Slot has stated openly that he wants the position, the personal terms are probably just formalities.

Rather than managing the squad, he’ll probably take on the position of “head coach,” concentrating on team development and coaching. Slot will not have the same level of authority over transfer targets as Klopp, but he will collaborate with Richard Hughes, the new sporting director, to identify potential candidates.

Among the players who are still being mentioned as possible additions to Liverpool is Willian Pacho, the defender for Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite just having arrived to Germany a year ago in a $9.6 million (£7.7 million/€9 million) deal from Royal Antwerp, the 22-year-old’s performances have drawn interest from other clubs.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Germany reports that Pacho has been contacted by both Liverpool and Arsenal, but Frankfurt does not intend to let him go this summer. However, the Reds may now attempt to pull off a move like they pulled off in 2017.

Encouraging Liverpool to sign Naby Keïta, the Guinean midfielder arrived the next summer after the club agreed to a contract with RB Leipzig, averting a potential move by Bayern Munich or Barcelona. Furthermore, according to SportBILD, the Reds may sign Pacho at the end of the season and then promptly loan him back to Frankfurt.

Liverpool reportedly worries that after one more season in the Bundesliga, his value would increase even more, hence it’s hoped Frankfurt would find value in the proposition. Frankfurt would still seek about $64 million (£51 million/€59 million) for the Ecuador international, whatever the terms of the transaction.

With Joël Matip due to go on a free transfer, Liverpool’s want list is probably going to be heavy in central defenders. Another addition would probably follow Pacho’s possible move. Lutsharel Geertruida of Feyenoord is eager to join Slot at Anfield, according to the Telegraaf.

While at Anfield, Keáta did win the Premier League and the Champions League, but injuries hindered his growth. He only played in a few games the previous campaign before moving on a free transfer to Werder Bremen.

However, his trip back to Germany did not proceed as expected. After appearing just five times for his new club, he was suspended till the end of the season last month for allegedly refusing to travel with the team.

According to Liverpool.com, Pacho has made a name for himself as one of Germany’s best defenders in his relatively short time at Frankfurt. He’ll probably become even more well-known the next term, so Liverpool could need to take action this summer. The 22-year-old may be a really smart move for the Reds if they can sign him and then allow him to continue growing at his present team.

May 3, 2024
In the midst of Arsenal’s “war for La Liga ace,” Liverpool has made a $64 million defender a “priority.”

Liverpool transfer gossip suggests the Reds may look to Spain to address their struggles with goal scoring. A Bundesliga defender is also being considered, although his price is high.

Liverpool’s dreams of winning the title are in shambles following their stunning Merseyside derby defeat. Already, focus is turning to the summer and Anfield’s post-Jürgen Klopp era.

Arne Slot, the manager of Feyenoord, is now the front-runner for the position, and according to BBC Sport, negotiations between the two teams have already started. If Slot is hired, he will actively collaborate with Richard Hughes, the new sporting director, to identify potential transfers, with Michael Edwards closely monitoring the process.

As they approach the last year of their contracts, star players Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah’s futures are still up in the air. Salah in particular is still the subject of speculation, and Saudi Pro League teams are predicted to pique interest once more in the summer.

Regardless of whether Slot replaces Klopp, he or she will probably want money to bolster the Liverpool team. The past few weeks have demonstrated areas that still need work in an effort to improve for the upcoming season.

This is Liverpool.com’s assessment of the transfer rumours that have surfaced regarding the Reds today, including claims of interest in a La Liga striker and a Bundesliga star who has drawn attention this year.

Atletico Madrid’s [Samu Omorodion]

West Ham United, Arsenal, and Liverpool are ‘considering’ making a deal for Samu Omoridion, the striker for Atlético Madrid, according to CaughtOffiside. Currently on loan at Deportivo Alavés, the 19-year-old has made an impression. eight goals in the La Liga.

Omorodion did not play for the Spanish powerhouses yet, having only joined Atlético from Granada last summer. It is said that he might be sold this summer for about $64 million (€60 million/£51 million), provided a sizable transfer offer is made.

The adolescent has apparently been under observation by both Arsenal and Liverpool for some time, but the Hammers are the ones who first got in touch with his agency before the summer transfer window opened.

Omoridion may have aspirations of breaking into the first squad next season, but Atletico could look to cash in on the player if the Spanish giants receive a sizable bid, according to Liverpool.com. It’s unclear if he would be willing to walk away without having an influence. Liverpool may be considering signing a new striker as their goal-scoring problems have become more apparent in recent weeks.

Frankfurt’s Eintracht [Willian Pacho]

Gianluca Di Marzio, an Italian journalist, claims that Liverpool has made Willian Pacho, a defender for Eintracht Frankfurt, a “priority” for the summer transfer window. After an incredible season, the 22-year-old, who was signed by the Bundesliga club for $9.6 million (€9 million/£7.7 million) last summer from Royal Antwerp, has the potential to turn a big profit.

Pacho appears to be one of the possible transfers Michael Edwards is ‘already working’ on to bolster the team this summer. Liverpool is looking for a left-footed centre defender, and Pacho has supposedly been identified as the “right profile” to bolster the defence.

Sky Germany recently revealed that an offer as high as $64 million (€60 million/£51 million) will be required to sign him this summer. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool is willing to pay this amount.

According to Liverpool.com, Joël Matip is expected to leave on a free transfer, meaning Liverpool is in dire need of defensive reinforcements. The recent performances of Ibrahima Konaté have also raised questions. Pacho matches the age range and profile, but we’ll have to wait and see if Liverpool is prepared to pay the amount.

Liverpool Transfer News: The Reds want a center-back valued around £50 million.

Liverpool plans to enter the market in the summer in an effort to bolster their defence.

Even though they were in the running for the Premier League title this year, Jurgen Klopp’s team has had defensive difficulties.

They need to strengthen their defence in order to compete with sides like Arsenal and Manchester City, as they have given up more goals than them this season.

This season, the Reds have only kept nine clean sheets in the league, far less than Arsenal’s sixteen.

The Merseyside club’s Europa League loss to Atalanta at Anfield served as yet another reminder that they require a new defensive face.

The Reds are after Eintracht Frankfurt centre defender Willian Pacho, as verified by journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

Significant changes are anticipated at Liverpool.

This summer, Liverpool is set to see a lot of changes, with signings expected in a variety of areas.

Jurgen Klopp is expected to depart the team, along with a few members of his coaching staff.

Thiago Alcantara is probably going to leave due to his persistent injury issues this season, while Joel Matip’s ACL injury complicates any contract extension.

Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk, who is already 32 years old, is not getting any younger, and Ibrahima Konate’s frequent injuries are worrisome.

Di Marzio claims that the Merseyside club is very interested in Pacho, a 22-year-old who is excelling in the Bundesliga with Frankfurt.

Liverpool’s team needs a left-sided centre back.

The Ecuadorian international is the only left-footed centre back in the Reds’ defence.

Given these factors, it seems sense and is probably the case that Liverpool’s hiring team is giving defensive reinforcements a serious consideration.

Strengthening the center-back position is crucial if they want to ensure continuity and consistency in their defence for the upcoming season.

Klopp has utilised Quansah, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, and Ibrahima Konate as his four right-footed centre backs this season.

The Premier League team might be wise to sign a young, left-footed defender.

More news……

Jose Mourinho has already spoken on the shortlist for the new Liverpool manager.

Some Liverpool supporters are contemplating the most unexpected course of action after Jose Mourinho’s attendance at Craven Cottage the day before the club’s manager search was widely publicised.

Liverpool defeated Fulham 3-1 on Sunday to keep their title aspirations alive, and former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho was in the stands.

Although the reason for his absence is yet unknown, Ruben Amorim’s near-certainty as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement on Monday has created some curiosity.

While some view it as the worst conceivable choice for the club, others see it as a way to pad the box office until more worthy candidates surface.

It’s questionable if he would actually be taken into consideration given that Liverpool’s requirements are centred on youthful managers who play offensive football and feel at ease elevating from within.

From Mourinho’s perspective, there is an admission that he is not one of their stated candidates, Sam Wallace of the Telegraph reports.

Wallace adds that Mourinho “notes that the current shortlist does not feature his name,” and that his past associations with Manchester United “would likely rule him out.”

“I don’t want to stop at 65 just because I’m 61. Not at all, Mourinho remarked. “My career still has a long way to go.”

“My ideal job description is ‘head coach,’ because sometimes a job title is just one aspect of a job description,” he continued.

“I want to do it. to hold the position of coach. To be the squad leader who concentrates on player development and match preparation.

It’s thought that Liverpool is posting job openings for a “head coach” position, which would transfer authority from the manager to the boardroom.

“The club’s desire and need for a coach with my background and level of desire could really make a difference,” Mourinho went on.

“And how much empathy and feeling I could get from the structure.”

Though it’s improbable and most likely an unhappy decision, it’s noteworthy that the odds on Mourinho taking over as Liverpool manager have drastically decreased.

Bookies rank him as their fourth favourite, behind only Amorim, Roberto De Zerbi, and Arne Slot.

High-value €60 million star expected to ignite epic Arsenal vs. Liverpool trade clash

Both Arsenal and Liverpool are still vying for the coveted crown as the 2023–24 Premier League season draws to a close, and they may face off during the summer transfer window.

Regardless matter the winner of the championship, Mikel Arteta and the person who succeeds Jurgen Klopp will almost definitely want to make a number of roster improvements.

Arsenal and Liverpool will compete for Willian Pacho.

Willian Pacho, a highly regarded centre back for Eintracht Frankfurt, is one player who seems to be attracting interest from both the Reds and the North Londoners.

Florian Plettenberg, a dependable football transfer analyst on Sky Sport Germany, claims that he has a contract that runs until 2028, but it appears that the Bundesliga team would be open to a deal at roughly €60 million.

Considering how successful Gabriel and William Saliba have been for the Gunners this season, one may anticipate that Pacho would not be first choice at Arsenal but would, at most, give some competition for spots.

A strong case can be made at Liverpool that he would fit in well with Virgil van Dijk in the Reds’ new back line.

Prior to attempting to outsmart one another in the transfer market, both teams have other matters to focus on for the time being.

More news……

It was the right decision for Jürgen Klopp to alter Liverpool’s transfer strategy for the amazing ace who is now considered ‘world class’.

Since the 1-1 draw with Man City, Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has been highlighting the strengths of several players. One midfield player is not to be disregarded.

If you had been informed in the summer that Liverpool would play Manchester City at Anfield in March, with Joe Gomez starting at left-back, Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah making up half of the defence, and Wataru Endō among the first names on the roster, you could have been forgiven for questioning what had gone wrong.

When Jürgen Klopp made roster changes to his Liverpool club last summer, that was not the team that was expected. On the injury front, however, nobody could have predicted anything near to what transpired. Up to ten players, including certain starters like Alisson and Ibrahima Konaté, were sidelined, while Mohamed Salah was limited to 30 minutes of action off the bench.

But what happened at Anfield in a match that could have been crucial in the three-way fight for the Premier League title was not at all what many had anticipated a few months ago. Liverpool felt disappointed not to win by the end. Alexis Mac Allister ought to have won a second spot-kick, and Luis Díaz had opportunities.

A reversal in the second half was essential to all of that. Liverpool was still very much in the game, but Manchester City rightly led after the first forty-five minutes of play. However, Liverpool was clearly in the lead after the half.

The midfield was the source of it all. Kevin De Bruyne had discovered spaces earlier in the game, but those gaps had closed. Erling Haaland had very little chance to kick, and the balls into Phil Foden were blocked at the source.

The running that Endō, Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Harvey Elliott completed was essential to everything. The 31-year-old Endō played with the intensity of a player ten years younger.

“What do you anticipate? that the 30-year-old Japanese skipper you sign would be an exceptional player in the Premier League?” stated Klopp in a post-Manchester City interview with BBC Sport.

“We thought he would be a terrific player, but what he’s doing with that role, whether it be with Macca, Dom, or Harvey—what a game he played, by the way— You never know when someone can reach world-class status, but that’s exactly what transpired.”

That really is a great compliment. However, it is not uncalled for. With more than 20 minutes of regular time remaining, De Bruyne was substituted by Endō, who played an outstanding game against Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola concluded that Mateo Kovačić was the person needed to help turn the tide. By then, Endō, Mac Allister, and Elliott were winning the midfield battle, and Manchester City’s major creator was out of the game.

Endō was not your average Liverpool transfer. He was well over the age the Reds typically move for at thirty. However, Klopp and previous sporting director Jörg Schmadtke were completely justified in their $21 million (£16 million/€19 million) transfer; it is difficult to envision Moisés Caicedo, who would have cost about seven times as much, having an influence similar to Endō’s this season

March 16, 2024
Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal are “queuing up” to sign a €60 million Bundesliga player.

After only six months in the Bundesliga, Willian Pacho is drawing significant attention, according to German media.

The Ecuadorian international helped Royal Antwerp win the Jupiler Pro League the previous year, and as a result, he signed a summer contract with Eintracht Frankfurt. Pacho was purchased for €9 million with the obvious goal of selling him for a huge profit down the road.

The 22-year-old, who was already well-regarded when playing for Belgium, has proven that the Eintracht management was right to have trusted him. Pacho has impressed with his awareness, athleticism, and ball handling skills this season, making him one of Germany’s most outstanding defenders. Still, even Frankfurt locals were caught off guard by his quick ascent to fame.

The original intention, according to BILD, was to retain Pacho in the Bundesliga until 2025 or 2026, but his strong play this season may hasten his exit. According to the article, the Premier League’s elite have already taken notice of the Ecuadorian.

Pacho to the Premier League?
The teenage defender is reportedly drawing serious interest from Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Real Madrid and Napoli, two more powerful teams in Europe, are reportedly also eager to sign the 22-year-old.

According to the rumour, Pacho might be sold as soon as the summer arrives if the right offer is made. Since there is no release clause for the left-footed center-back, Eintracht will eventually control the ball.

The German team now values Pacho at approximately €60 million, but they know he will be in high demand come summertime due to the lack of excellent left-footed centre backs available. As a result, his cost can increase much more.

Liverpool and Manchester United are vying for the 44-year-old Premier League boss.

Manchester United is considering hiring Roberto De Zerbi, the manager of Brighton, as their next manager.

The Telegraph claims that Manchester United is keen to appoint the 44-year-old Italian as their next manager, but they will have to fight with Liverpool for his services.

De Zerbi has done an outstanding job at Brighton since taking manager, and the Seagulls have pleased with their play and performances.

The fact that Manchester United is interested in employing him is not surprising. The Italian, who is among the top young managers in the game right now, is expected to draw interest from Barcelona and Liverpool, two other teams that will be losing managers at the end of the current campaign.

Erik ten Hag’s failure to get the greatest performance out of his team this season is preventing Manchester United from making the Champions League. The Red Devils may let him go if the club doesn’t perform much better before the end of the season.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Man United has been frantically searching for a player, and De Zerbi might be the one.

After Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announced that he will be departing the team at the end of the current campaign, the Reds are now searching for potential successors.

It would be prudent for Liverpool to appoint the 44-year-old Italian manager as well. It will be interesting to see who of the two teams succeeds in winning him over.

Compared to Man United, who are still in the process of rebuilding, Liverpool has a considerably more advanced project and is therefore in a better position to qualify for the Champions League.

Another manager may be departing Brighton shortly for one of the “Big Six” teams, following Graham Potter’s departure for Chelsea
