Frankfurt’s Pacho to Real Madrid? Skepticism in the TM rumor mill

The speculation surrounding Pacho and Real has also been widely discussed in the TM rumor mill since Friday. The user “Falkenmayer” doesn’t believe this is very true: “I don’t believe in a sale after five months, but not because Real never spends 40 million euros just to bridge an injury phase for Alaba, Militao, etc . With a player who has only played in the Bundesliga for five months. I can not believe that.”

User “Invincible1” attests: “If Madrid comes to him and says ‘yes, we want you’, then Pacho will pull out all the stops to make this transfer happen. You couldn’t blame him at all, such an opportunity only comes to a few people. From Frankfurt’s perspective, it’s just a matter of getting as much as possible out of the deal.”

User “JohnnySGE99” says: “Krösche has the best negotiating position for the winter. Long-term contract, no financial need to sell and the player has just arrived. There is no reason to give it away now, EXCEPT an immoral offer. Should Real make him a priority and put 70 million+ on the table, Krösche can’t say no. Unless something extraordinary happens, Frankfurt will not be able to declare a player unsaleable for the next few years. At a certain price you have to be economically sensible.”
