Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Alejandro Grimaldo as one of the possible key reinforcements to strengthen its left flank for the upcoming season. After a campaign where current options have not managed to establish themselves, the red and white club considers that the Bayer Leverkusen player would fit perfectly into the profile Diego Simeone is looking for in that position.

The 29-year-old Valencian full-back has had a brilliant season in Germany and has not gone unnoticed in the market. His future at Leverkusen is uncertain after Xabi Alonso's departure, and several major teams on the continent are aware of his situation. At the Metropolitano, they see Grimaldo as a mature player, with experience in European competitions and a great ability to contribute offensively thanks to his precision in crosses and effectiveness from set pieces.

Atlético de Madrid Interested in Signing Alejandro Grimaldo

However, the operation will not be easy. The German club is not willing to part with the player for less than 30 million euros, a figure that could influence Atlético's aspirations, forcing them to manage their resources carefully. Nevertheless, the player's interest in returning to Spain could facilitate negotiations, especially considering that he himself has expressed his desire to wear the colors of a big team in LaLiga.

With names like Mathías Olivera also on the colchonero agenda, the final choice will depend on both the market and the real possibilities of reaching an agreement. Grimaldo has certainly returned to the radar of Spanish clubs, and his future promises to be at the center of a dispute that could shake up the summer transfer market.
