The Pachuca has surprised with a significant market move by closing the signing of the veteran Portuguese midfielder William Carvalho. The 33-year-old player has signed for one season with an option for a second, after recently parting ways with Real Betis Balompié, the club where he played for the last seven seasons.
Carvalho, who joined the verdiblanco squad in 2018, decided to terminate his contract with the Seville club despite having a valid contract until 2026. Although initially his future seemed to be heading to Qatar, specifically to Al-Wakrah, where he had a verbal agreement and was awaited by Spanish coach Vicente Moreno, the Portuguese international finally chose to join Pachuca's project, attracted by a more appealing offer both in terms of sports and economics.
A reinforcement with great guarantees for Pachuca
During his time at Betis, the midfielder born in Angola established himself as one of the leaders in the dressing room, playing a total of 223 official matches, scoring 11 goals, and providing 16 assists. He was a key player in winning the Copa del Rey 2022, where he participated in the historic final against Valencia.
Carvalho's arrival represents a reinforcement of hierarchy for the Mexican team, which relies on his experience and quality to strengthen the midfield. The former Sporting Lisbon player now faces a new challenge in Liga MX, aiming to make an impact in a league that continues to attract international talent.
