Real Madrid has personnel concerns due to injuries. The Royals may have their eye on Willian Pacho for the defender position.
Frankfurt – The Bundesliga has started its winter break. Fans, players and officials of Eintracht Frankfurt will only find the few days’ break after the changeable first series to be useful. With the start of the winter transfer period on January 1st and the start of training the following day, everyone involved will quickly return to everyday life. Willian Pacho, the reliable long-time favorite, is said to be in Real Madrid’s sights for the upcoming transfer window.
The first half of the season by Willian Pacho – a whiz at Eintracht
Pacho was undoubtedly one of the bright spots in the Frankfurt squad so far this season. He became a regular starter on an ad hoc basis, didn’t miss a minute of the Bundesliga and, with co-newcomer Robin Koch, was emblematic of the phase of the season in which Eintracht were a force defensively, despite many other rotations. All attributes that apparently did not go unnoticed by the Royals in Madrid.
Like the Spanish tabloid AS reported that the Madrilenians are interested in the 22-year-old Ecuadorian, which is why he is on a list to help the club with its injury concerns. There are no other sources for the rumor. One thing is certain: Since David Alaba’s serious injury, the capital club has been struggling. After Éder Militão, Carlo Ancelotti is missing another heavyweight for central defense.
Pacho is given a fitting profile in the report: He is named as “another left-footer (like Alaba and Militão) who impressed at Eintracht,” along with other potential candidates such as Benfica’s Antonio Silva and Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini. The paper, which is known for lively transfer reports, also reports a possible transfer fee of over 40 million euros.

Tight schedule and bad luck with injuries – Real Madrid is looking for defenders
Given Real’s tight schedule and the sometimes exciting championship in Spain, it would be presumptuous to believe that the Madrilenians would not already be making short-term purchases. They can also flex their financial muscles against economically inferior clubs. In January, in addition to the league opener, Ancelotti’s team will have a game in the Spanish Cup and the Supercopa, which will once again be outsourced to Saudi Arabia.

However, Eintracht’s interest in selling their high-flyer is likely to be low. Even if the Hessians know the business and will work on their own squad in the winter, the defensive forces they have in place seem to be indispensable. (that)
