Bar\u00e7a is closely following Grimaldo to reinforce their left back position. The signing is gaining strength. Learn all the details<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> has clear market priorities. In principle, the Azulgrana team will finalize, as everything seems to indicate, the incorporation of Joan Garc\u00eda to bolster the goal<\/a>. Subsequently, the club is expected to strengthen its sports project with a top-level left winger, with Luis D\u00edaz<\/strong> (Liverpool) as the favorite, but with other names on the radar, such as Nico Williams<\/strong>, from Athletic Club, or Ademola Lookman<\/strong>, from Atalanta.<\/p>

Once the Catalan team reinforces those positions, everything indicates that they plan to make another stellar incorporation. According to Mundo Deportivo<\/em>, the team from the Condal City will focus on reinforcing the left back, and they would already have defined the ideal player for it: Alejandro Grimaldo<\/strong>, a youth player from Cul\u00e9 who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen<\/strong>.<\/p>

From MD<\/em> it is asserted that, although Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> is satisfied with the performance of Alejandro Balde<\/strong> this season \u2014a regular starter in the position\u2014 and Gerard Mart\u00edn<\/strong> \u2014a frequent alternative\u2014, the sports management considers it necessary to incorporate a player with proven experience<\/strong>. And what better option than Grimaldo<\/strong>, who has accumulated significant experience after his time at SL Benfica<\/strong> (303 matches) and Bayer Leverkusen<\/strong> (99), in addition to his participation with the Spanish national team.<\/p>

Grimaldo and his desire to return to Barcelona<\/h2>

In this sense, the Barcelona team would be assessing Grimaldo’s<\/strong> willingness to return to Barcelona<\/strong>, a club with which he never debuted in the first team, but to which he has expressed his desire to return on more than one occasion. Even, in a recent interview with Jijantes<\/em>, he reiterated his affection for the Cul\u00e9 team, stating: “Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> is the team where I spent my entire youth career and I have a lot of affection for them.” So, probably, the Valencian would be open to returning.<\/p>

To this are added the rumors that place the former Benfica player willing to change scenery this summer, considering the change of sports project that Leverkusen<\/strong> faces after the departure of Xabi Alonso<\/strong>. Little by little, the ‘Die Werkself’ has begun to disarm: Jonathan Tah has already left for Bayern Munich<\/a>, Jeremie Frimpong<\/strong> to Liverpool, and Florian Wirtz<\/strong> could also follow that path.<\/p>

It would not be strange, then, that Grimaldo<\/strong> considers that it is the ideal moment to embark on a new adventure, with special interest in returning to Spanish football.<\/p>

How much would Alejandro Grimaldo’s signing cost?<\/h2>

At this point, it will be necessary to see how the market moves around Grimaldo<\/strong>, whose value according to Transfermarkt<\/em> is \u20ac40M. However, if any club decides to go for him, they could sign him for much less. This was hinted at by the full-back himself in the aforementioned interview in Jijantes<\/em>, where he pointed out:<\/p>

“People always look at the market value, but the market value is not real. I was free there, so there are formulas”<\/p> <\/blockquote>

Message that emphasizes that, in case Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> \u2014or another club\u2014 were interested in him, the price would be much more accessible. Some sources even suggest that the operation could close for around \u20ac20M<\/strong> as a ceiling.<\/p>

A price that would be a bargain for one of the most sought-after full-backs of the moment. Grimaldo<\/strong> comes from completing a stellar season with Leverkusen<\/strong>: four goals and 13 assists in 48 matches<\/strong>, showing himself as a winger with great offensive capabilities.<\/p>

He is a full-back who knows how to exploit his side with constant projections<\/strong>, very fast, technical, with a remarkable vision of the game, creativity, associative capacity and good hitting ability, which he does not hesitate to use. All this is complemented by a solid defensive capacity.<\/p>

Real Madrid and Atl\u00e9tico, on the lookout for Grimaldo<\/h2>

Will Barcelona<\/strong> go for his signing? For the moment, it is not entirely clear. What does seem evident is that the Valencian is a coveted asset, also arousing the interest of Real Madrid<\/strong> \u2014who would have him as a second option after \u00c1lvaro Carreras<\/strong>\u2014 and Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid<\/strong>. Will any of them step forward? Only the market has the answer.<\/p>
