Grimaldo is back on Barcelona's radar. The left-back, who came up through the Barça academy and currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen, could return to the Catalan club after several years of shining in European football. Although his performance this season hasn't reached the dazzling levels of the previous campaign, his name is on the list of potential signings for Barça to strengthen a key position in defense.

Grimaldo could return to Barcelona

The Spanish defender was crucial in Bayer Leverkusen's historic double, winning both the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal. With impressive stats—12 goals and 20 assists—he made an indelible mark under the guidance of Xabi Alonso. Despite a slight dip in form this season, he remains one of the most impactful full-backs on the continent.

Barcelona sees his potential return positively, valuing his experience and attacking prowess, which suits the club's style of play. Given the uncertainty surrounding the future of some current defenders, the prospect of adding a player with experience, talent, and a Blaugrana past becomes increasingly appealing. Moreover, his ability to pose a threat from the left flank aligns with the tactical needs of a team aiming to regain prominence.

Grimaldo, on his part, hasn't ruled out a new chapter in Spain. Although he is under contract with Leverkusen, Barcelona's interest could alter his course. At 29 years old, the player is in his prime, and a potential return to LaLiga would not only carry emotional weight but also bring a boost in quality to the Blaugrana's lineup.
