BOMBSHELL: Deco wants Grimaldo at Barcelona

FC Barcelona is already starting to outline its roadmap for the upcoming season, and one of the topics being discussed by the sports management is reinforcing the left-back position. According to German media, the Blaugrana club has recently inquired about the situation of Alejandro Grimaldo, who is currently shining at Bayer Leverkusen.

Trained at La Masia, Grimaldo has expressed his desire to return to Camp Nou on several occasions. After his successful spell at Benfica, where he established himself as one of the best left-backs in Europe, he joined the German side in 2023 and has maintained a very high level both in the Bundesliga and the Champions League. With a contract until 2027, his signing would be around 35 million euros, a figure that is currently considered high by Barça's management.

A quality left-back is needed

According to BILD, Grimaldo, aged 29, is favored by Deco, who had already been following his progress in the past. However, the Catalan club continues to firmly support Alejandro Balde as their main man for the left flank, having recently renewed his contract. Additionally, young talents like Gerard Martín and Jofre Torrens, as well as loaned player Álex Valle, are also part of the medium-term plans.

The operation for Grimaldo will not be easy, but the interest is real. His experience and current performance make him a very interesting option for a Barcelona that aims to continue strengthening its squad with proven footballers. Meanwhile, there is also work being done to incorporate a top-level right-back to provide more rest for Jules Koundé, who has accumulated a lot of minutes this season. Grimaldo's future could once again be linked to Barça. Everything will depend on the financial conditions.
