Barcelona has clear objectives for the next summer market. If Gerard Mart\u00edn leaves, Alejandro Grimaldo is the chosen one to reinforce the left flank<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona’s interest in making the first team squad the best in Europe is total. That is why everything indicates that left-back Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayern Leverkusen)<\/strong> would be the player chosen by the Blaugrana team to replace Gerard Mart\u00edn<\/a> if he decides to move on during the summer market.<\/p>

A possible departure of Mart\u00edn – a regular substitute on the left wing during the 2024\/25 season – would be a significant loss to the first team, as the player was of great help to Hansi Flick during the season as a replacement for Alejandro Balde<\/a>.<\/p>

For his part, Grimaldo knows perfectly well what it is to represent the Blaugrana shirt<\/strong>, as he is a former youth player who even made his debut with the first team in the 2011\/12 season in a match for the Copa Catalunya.<\/p>

In that sense, Barcelona’s intention is to maintain competition in each of the positions and, the left-back, will not be the exception. Until now, Balde (21 years old) is the undisputed starter in this demarcation<\/strong>, but the idea is to incorporate a player capable of fighting him hand to hand for the position.<\/p>

How much would it cost to get Grimaldo out of Leverkusen?<\/h2>

According to the latest Transfermarkt update, the Valencian is worth \u20ac30 million. He also has a contract with the German team until June 2026, but the player himself implied in an interview with ‘Jijantes’ that he can change teams for a lower amount:<\/p>

“People always look at the market value, but the market value is not real. I was free there, so there are always formulas<\/strong>“, said the ’20’ of the ‘Die Werkself’.<\/p>

Likewise, the 27-year-old player also expressed the feeling that the Blaugrana team generates in him, stating:<\/p>

“Bar\u00e7a is the team in which I have been all my youth career and I have a lot of affection for it”.<\/p> <\/blockquote>

Similarly, the latest rumors indicate that the easiest way for Bar\u00e7a to get Alejandro Grimaldo’s incorporation is by paying his termination clause, which is around 15 million euros<\/strong>.<\/p>

In the 24\/25 season, the Spanish international played 3,869 minutes in 48 games with the German team, which helped him score 4 goals and provide 13 assists<\/strong>. Using his left foot, the ’20’ knows that he not only arouses the interest of Barcelona, but is also followed by Real Madrid and Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid.<\/p>

Gerard Mart\u00edn, in the orbit of the Premier League<\/h2>

In the case of Gerard Mart\u00edn, the Catalan team is not closed to a sale of the ’35’, who in the previous year recorded 1 goal and 6 assists in 1,793 minutes played in 42 matches<\/strong>.<\/p>

Both Wolverhampton and Bournemouth<\/strong> have been interested in the 23-year-old defender. The ‘wolves’ sold Rayan Ait-Nouri for \u20ac40 million to Manchester City<\/a><\/strong>, generating that they have to go to the market to replace that departure.<\/p>

As for the ‘cherries’ everything seems to indicate that their left winger Milos Kerkez<\/strong> could go to Liverpool for 40 ‘kilos’. However, Bar\u00e7a has an advantage to get the most money for Gerard Mart\u00edn, taking into account the amounts that are being moved in the market.<\/p>

A clause of 100 million rests on the contract of the left winger until 2028<\/strong>, but if the player ends up leaving, the clubs will have to sit down to negotiate with Bar\u00e7a. An operation in which the Blaugrana, according to the latest information, could demand around 20 ‘kilos’.<\/p>
