Bolavip has revealed that Arsenal are interested in PSG centre-back William Pacho, who has recently renewed his contract. The Ecuadorian player is reportedly being considered by teams such as Arsenal and Manchester City, and the two English clubs would offer him a very high salary to convince him to join. Pacho's earnings in Paris are €11m, and for him to agree to a move, Arsenal would need to offer a higher salary. According to Bolavip, Arsenal's situation is more complicated because, while the club possesses the funds, it does not typically pay such amounts. The club's highest-paid defender is Saliba, who earns €14 million per year, and only five of their players earn more than €11 million.

According to Caught Offside, Arsenal are monitoring PSG's Willian Pacho and have compiled a detailed scouting report on the 24-year-old. The Gunners reportedly view the Ecuadorian as another high-level left-footed defensive option, but Manchester City are also said to be interested. Pacho is a regular starter for PSG, having played every minute this season, and recently signed a new contract until 2031.
