Talent from Real Madrid Attracts Bundesliga Interest
A promising young defender at La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid is reportedly a target for Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt this summer.
The player in question is Víctor Valdepeñas.
Valdepeñas, a 19-year-old, is a versatile defender who can play as a centre-back or a left-back.
Recognized as a potential future star, the Spanish youngster made his senior debut for Real Madrid last season, starting in a La Liga match against Deportivo Alavés.
However, with Real Madrid having already secured three defensive signings this summer, Valdepeñas is increasingly expected to seek a move to gain consistent senior playing time.
Reports this weekend have identified one club that appears ready to offer Valdepeñas the first-team opportunities he desires next season.
According to transfer market journalist Matteo Moretto of Marca:
"Eintracht Frankfurt is pushing for the signing of Víctor Valdepeñas."
