Celebrating in the Premier League by Willian Pacho

Willian Pacho has entered the agenda of Manchester City and Arsenal for the upcoming summer transfer market. The PSG departure market remains open.

According to a report by Caught Offside, the Ecuadorian international — with 38 matches and 2 goals for his national team — is being monitored by both Premier League clubs, although his departure from PSG will require an amount higher than his market value of 80 million euros set by Transfermarkt.

Arsenal's report after monitoring Willian Pacho at PSG

Arsenal scouts compiled a detailed dossier on the defender after watching him live in the 2-2 draw between the Parisian team and Lille. Coach Mikel Arteta sees the left-footed player as a strategic left-profile piece to strengthen the backline.

The player joined PSG's ranks in August 2024 and has played 100% of the minutes in the current French league season. However, Arsenal's interest clashes with the stance of the French club, which is not willing to negotiate for a key starter in the lineup.

On the other hand, Manchester City has identified the 24-year-old center-back as an option for defensive rotation led by Enzo Maresca. The Italian coach aims to add a left-profile player to share minutes with Joško Gvardiol, Rúben Dias, and Marc Guéhi in Premier League and Champions League matches.

The main obstacle to finalizing a transfer is the player's contractual situation in France. The defender recently signed a contract extension with the Parisian club until June 2031, giving negotiating initiative to the board led by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

The scouting analysts of Arsenal and Manchester City will continue monitoring the player in the next 10 official matches of the season. Both English clubs plan to make initial contact with the defender's agents in November 2026 to determine if they will submit a formal proposal before the 2027 summer transfer market.
