According to the Ecuadorian source, Pacho will sign a four-year-deal in the coming days. The teenager's current market value is €2.5 million, making him the most valuable player in the Ecuadorian Serie A. Any deal to bring the youngster to Europe would obviously combine a base transfer fee with a re-sale clause in order to reach a sum close to the estimated.
Pacho's stock has been rising after multiple starting appearances in the Copa Libertadores.
🚨CONFIRMADO🚨
