From the source
La Liga giants Barcelona have added an altogether high-profile name to their list of targets to reinforce the heart of the club’s defence. This comes amid the understanding that the Blaugrana have set their sights on Willian Pacho.
Pacho, for his part, is widely regarded as one of the standout centre-backs in world football at present. The Ecuadorian was a key figure in Luis Enrique’s PSG side’s back-to-back triumphs in the Champions League over the last two years, starring alongside Marquinhos.
Safe to say, then, that it would likely require a monumental fee to convince those in a position of power at the Parc des Princes to part with their defensive stalwart.
