Barcelona ruled out of January move for PSG defender Willian Pacho

Barcelona is in search of defensive reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window and had been linked with PSG defender Willian Pacho. However, transfer journalist Matteo Moretto confirmed that PSG has no plans to sell the 25-year-old Ecuadorian, who recently extended his contract until 2031. Barcelona is exploring other targets, including Josko Gvardiol, Lisandro Martinez, and Alessandro Bastoni, with Martinez appearing to be the most viable due to his expiring contract. The need for a left-footed center-back remains critical for Barcelona as they aim to strengthen their defense this winter.
