Chelsea have now set their eyes on a new target in the form of Willian Pacho. The PSG center-back is on the priority list for London Giants. Chelsea are looking to strengthen their defensive lineup and Pacho can be a huge asset.
Paris Saint Germain paid a hefty fee of 45 million euros to Eintracht Frankfurt to bring the youngster to Parc des Princes. This deal was agreed to a 5-year-old contract. Willian has quickly settled into Luis Enrique’s squad ever since his arrival in August. He has been part of the starting squad and has made an effective impact.
The Parisian club will not look to part ways with Willian as he has started to gel well with the team as per the reports of Fichjaes. Chelsea will not give up the chase as they are preparing a 50 million euro for the defender. The next transfer window will be interesting to see if PSG take up the huge for the defender.
Willian has been in the headlines before he joined PSG. He was a force to be reckoned with during his time with the German club Eintracht Frankfurt. Pacho kept plenty of clean sheets during his time in the Bundesliga and is continuing to do so in Ligue 1.
The young defender quickly made his way into the starting 11 and delivered results. He took no time to adjust with his fellow teammates like Joao Neves and Achraf Hakimi. Chelsea is willing to sell players to fund the 50 million deal for Willian Pacho.
Does Chelsea need a defensive player like Willian Pacho?
The Blues have a huge squad but Enzo Maresca has plans to add a new centre-back to the team. Maresca has constructed a team that is in good form in the Premier League. He believes that the addition of a youngster like Pacho will be a boost for the team.
It is not that Chelsea are low on players in the defensive lineup. There are many capable players like Levi Colwill, Marc Cucuraella and others who currently handle Chelsea’s defensive wall. The acquirement of Willian will only fortify the team’s defence.
The Chelsea squad is full of young and talented players. Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandes and Moises Caicedo are examples of how Enzo Maresca has shaped young talents. William Pacho can fit in well in the future plans of the London giants.
The Blues have spent almost 1.2 million euros under the ownership of Todd Boehly. This resulted in Chelsea being one of the most active clubs in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea have set their radar on many more players in January. PSG’s Willian Pacho is one of the priority targets for the Blues in the next transfer window. They would look to tempt the Parisian club with an offer as huge as 50 million euros for the youngster.
The Blues turned up the gear in the Premier League
Chelsea is in their winning form as they are rising up the Premier League table. Enzo Maresca’s men are just 7 points behind the table toppers Liverpool. The Reds dropped points against Newcastle United in their last clash as the match ended 3-3.
These results have further enhanced the trailing teams like Chelsea to get three hands on the silverware. Arsenal is another club that is closely competing to dethrone Liverpool from the top spot. They are behind the Blues with just a goal difference with the same points.
Chelsea are coming from a dominating 5-1 victory against Southampton in the Premier League. This win has boosted their chances and confidence of winning titles this season. They started their season on a rocky note but have managed to find their rhythm under the new manager Enzo Maresca.
