Barça still hasn't 'pressed' for Grimaldo and Benfica is already thinking of renewing him

The Classical in the semifinals of the Supercopa left several feelings for the FC Barcelona​. The culés showed upper in the majority of the stretches of the party, although his offensive solidity keeps on being the most criticised subject. However, also it remained exposed a part of the saga, the one who in this stage of reconstruction of Xavi Hernández needs attention if it wants to achieve a correct transition between his players.

The left side is one of them. The presence of Jordi Alba is indisputable, but his altibajos defensive were one of the causes of the constant contragolpes of the Real Madrid the past Wednesday. Besides, no only in front of the eternal rival, but in varied of the parties of the first-half of season. The case is that inside the staff, the left band seems to have an absolute owner, without anybody that offer competition.

It is by this that Álex Grimaldo has presented like an interesting option for the group blaugrana. The defender has showed the so much defensive capacity as in his projection in attack to solve the doubts that presents the Barça in the left lane. Nevertheless, although his agreement finalise in summer of the 2023, the Benfica, the one who is owner of his index card, feels comfortable with the services of the player, by what has not posed his exit.

The past of the Valencian by the inferior of the Barcelona picture could favour his will to land again in Catalonia, although in base to a proportionate information by the newspaper luso 'Or Jogo', the footballer still would not have a formal offer of any club, by what the negotiations to sign new agreement in Portugal could be for beginning. By the moment, does not seem to be an aim prioritario for Joan Laporta, in spite of this, the player does not have haste and does not have descartado the possibility to return to the institution where formed .

Spare generacional

Although it already exists an important spare in many of the zones of the staff with the explosion again players of the filial, the true is that the sides are a need. Dani Alves Arrived this season to offer something of 'oxygen' to Xavi, although therefore the Brazilian does not leave to have 38 years. By his part, Jordi Alba already has 32, and although his desbordes in attacks are important, there are a lot of defensive attitudes for the forget. The importance to find a new defender is a priority for the managerial barcelonista, the one who already has had several names in his orbit, and now is Grimaldo, with the one who already have history, the one who adds to the list.
