In a recent report by Spanish outlet AS, Real Madrid has shown keen interest in the 22-year-old Ecuadorian defender, Willian Pacho, as they intensify their search for center-backs ahead of the upcoming January transfer window. Eintracht Frankfurt, where Pacho currently plies his trade, is reportedly placing a €40 million price tag on the talented young defender. Since his arrival in the Bundesliga last summer, Pacho has swiftly established himself as one of the league's standout young defenders.
His journey to European football began with Royal Antwerp in Belgium, where he spent 18 months before making the move to Germany in July. Graduating from the Independiente del Valle youth division in his homeland, Pacho has become a regular presence in Eintracht Frankfurt's lineup this season, making 24 appearances so far. With his impressive performances, he has attracted attention from several top clubs, including the Spanish giants, Real Madrid.
