Willian Pacho, a 24-year-old defender from Ecuador, quickly established himself at Paris Saint-Germain after signing from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2024. While his contract currently runs until 2029, the first rumours have begun to emerge regarding the player, who has earned his place among the elite in his position — notably about a possible extension to upgrade his salary. L’Équipe confirmed on Friday that a new contract is on the way.
“Willian Pacho and Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement in principle to extend his contract. While the initial discussions focused on a two-year extension that would take the deal to 2031, the 24-year-old defender is now expected to sign a new contract until 2030 in the coming weeks.
For several months, both parties had agreed to negotiate this extension, which will include a salary increase.”
Nothing is certain until the deal is signed, but doubts are minimal given that all media outlets report the same information. It would be a major surprise if Pacho does not extend his contract soon. It is also the logical next step in his rise to the top level.
Let’s hope to celebrate this excellent news soon, without any setbacks. There is reason for optimism — we just need to remain patient.
