Eintracht Frankfurt are reportedly showing interest in 21-year-old Ecuadorian defender Willian Pacho.

According to Sport1, 'Die Adler' are exploring the possibility of signing the defender from Belgian side Royal Antwertp in the summer.

Pacho is understood to be keen on a move to Frankfurt, but the price is currently a stumbling block, with Antwerp demanding around €15 million to let him go.

Despite their interest in the 21-year-old, Frankfurt remain on extending Evan Ndicka's expiring contract, per the report.

Pacho's contract runs until 2026.
