He also adds that &#8220;conversations took place&#8221; between Eintracht Frankfurt, Pacho&#8217;s agent and Liverpool&#8217;s representatives as they hope to iron out an agreement soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/04\/23\/liverpool-diogo-jota-injury-revealed\/\" target=\"_self\">\u2018Got a Knock\u2019: Liverpool Confirm \u2018So Valuable\u2019 Star to Miss Key Matches in Title Run-In<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With the Ecuadorian centre-back being contracted until 2028 with the Bundesliga side, the club will not be letting him leave for cheap. Aouna claims that Frankfurt are likely to demand a fee of just over \u00a355 million, including bonuses, to let the 22-year-old leave the club for Liverpool after the 2023\/24 season is over. That means the Reds will have to pay a decent amount of money to sign the player, who is likely to be brought in to be the replacement for Joel Matip after the German defender leaves following the expiration of his contract.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"THREE WAY WAR - Who Wins The Premier League?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6XQStPx9Lw0?start=5&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>What Can Pacho Bring to Liverpool?<\/h3>\n<p>Pacho has been in impressive form for Frankfurt in this campaign, making 29 appearances for them in the Bundesliga and helping them keep seven clean sheets.
