Eintracht Frankfurt's William Pacho is really getting off to a flying start in the Bundesliga.
The central defender could leave the SGE for 60 million euros.
Frankfurt - While Eintracht Frankfurt still has room for improvement in many areas of the team under coach Dino Toppmöller, the SGE's defense has been extremely stable throughout the season.
With the signing of the Ecuadorian William Pacho, the Hessians made a very effective transfer in the summer.
According to transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, the central defender is now on the list of Premier League clubs Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC.
Pacho increases his transfer value through consistent performances at Eintracht Frankfurt
As the

reporter writes on X (formerly Twitter), those responsible at Eintracht Frankfurt have already been informed of the high-profile interest in their defensive player.
As
SportBild
had previously reported, Plettenberg is also talking about a transfer fee of 60 million euros that the SGE is demanding for a move.
In the summer, Pacho moved to the Main from the top Belgian club Royal Antwerp for nine million euros.
The enormous increase in transfer value within just one year would be a great success for sports director Markus Krösche.
If one of the interested clubs is actually willing to pay this amount for the South American, the defender will most likely leave Frankfurt.

Copa América could bring Eintracht 60 million for Pacho transfer
The left-footer has developed into an important pillar of the SGE in the Eintracht Frankfurt backline together with Robin Koch, who is about to return to the German national team.
But is the Ecuadorian already worth that much money to the Englishman after one Bundesliga season?
After the season, the national player will face the Copa América in the USA, which will be held parallel to Germany's home European Championship.
Should the highly talented Ecuadorian national team cause a surprise with Pacho, it does not seem impossible that the wealthy clubs from Liverpool and London will knock on Markus Krösche's door with an offer of 60 million euros.
Not only the Eintracht fans, but also Pacho's compatriot Davis Bautista from the SGE U21, would probably not be happy about the departure of the popular defensive specialist.
However, the high transfer fee would be a consolation.
