Real Sociedad signs the 23-year-old defender for five seasons

Real Sociedad have secured one of their most promising youth players, Jon Pacheco, after announcing a new long-term contract for the 23-year-old. His new contract will keep him at the club until 2030.

Pacheco, who is part of the Spanish Olympic team, gold medalists this summer, has been considered as the long-term replacement for Robin Le Normand in the txuri-urdin team. However, it has been a tougher season for Pacheco, who lost his place to West Ham loanee Nayef Aguerd, playing 909 minutes in 13 appearances.

With Aguerd set to leave at the end of his loan deal as things stand, and Aritz Elustondo out of contract in 2026, Pacheco is one of the long-term options to maintain the backline alongside Jon Martin and Igor Zubeldia.

Pacheco has played 87 times for Real and had a contract until 2027, hence his extension was a surprise. It can give him the confidence to regain his form again under the guidance of Imanol Alguacil.
