La Liga
The FC Barcelona is experiencing a resurgence under the guidance of Hans-Dieter Flick, who has returned the club to the European elite. With a project aiming to conquer all titles, high-caliber players see Barça as an ideal destination and continuously express their interest in joining the team. Alejandro Grimaldo, current Bayer Leverkusen player, is one of these talents who has shown his desire to return to Camp Nou, where he began his career at La Masía before seeking opportunities in other clubs, as reported by Nacional Cat.
Grimaldo wants to return to Barcelona
Grimaldo, trained in Barça's youth teams and former captain of the reserve team, never debuted with the first team, leading him to move to Benfica, where he had a successful career as a left-back. His performances in Portugal and now in Germany have made him one of the best in the world in his position, and his signing for Leverkusen resulted in a memorable season, helping the club win the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal, losing only one match in the Europa League final.
However, Grimaldo's return to Barça seems unlikely. With Alejandro Balde solidifying the left-back position, both Flick and Barça's board do not see the need to incorporate another player in that role. Furthermore, Grimaldo has decided to leave Bayer Leverkusen in 2025, a year in which some of his teammates will also seek new challenges, like coach Xabi Alonso.
As much as Grimaldo longs to come back to Camp Nou, his next destination will be another European club that appreciates his experience and quality. The door to the Blaugrana, at least for now, appears closed to the talented Valencian full-back.
