Alejandro Grimaldo’s desire to play for Bar\u00e7a: Is it an opportunity for the club?<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Talking about Alejandro Grimaldo<\/strong> is to discuss one of those many players who are footballingly developed in the academy of FC Barcelona<\/strong>, <\/strong>but who, for one reason or another, did not end up succeeding in the first team<\/strong>. <\/strong>Instead, they had to change environments and showcase their talent in other teams to establish themselves in the elite of football.<\/p>

The left-back left FC Barcelona<\/strong> in 2016. At the time, it was argued that there were differences between Grimaldo<\/strong> and the first team’s coach at that time, Luis Enrique<\/strong>, <\/strong>who did not fully trust him in the highest category of the club, and he did not speak very well of him, as reported by ‘RAC1’, where the following statement was leaked:<\/p>

“He has never said anything to me. I have had no contact with him (Luis Enrique). I also have nothing to discuss with him. I work with my coach. I get along very well with him, he helps me in everything and helps me to be better. Let the one above be with his players and I will be with my team”<\/p> <\/blockquote>

Apparently, those statements, along with an alleged misconduct (as pointed out in ‘SPORT’) and the outstanding level shown by Jordi Alba as the starting left-back of the first team<\/strong>, <\/strong>seemed to be the right ingredients for him to decide to leave the Barcelona club and face a new adventure at SL Benfica<\/strong>. Since then, his story has been truly positive, as the former Bar\u00e7a academy player has exploded as a lethal left wing-back, especially during his time at Bayer Leverkusen<\/a>, where under the guidance of Xabi Alonso<\/strong>, he has transformed into a lethal offensive player and one of the best in the world in his position.<\/p>
