Álex Grimaldo agrees deal with Spanish club, ex-Benfica moves on | OneFootball

Álex Grimaldo has taken an important step toward another move in his career. The left-back has reached a full agreement with Atlético de Madrid on personal terms, thus moving into a decisive stage of the transfer process.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish international has already given the green light to the colchonero club’s project, with only an agreement between Atlético de Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen now remaining, where the player has been one of the standout figures since arriving on a free transfer.

The Spanish club is currently in direct negotiations with the German side, trying to reach a final agreement to secure the full-back’s return to La Liga. The deal is not done yet, but the outlook is considered very positive by those involved.

The player’s desire could be decisive in unlocking the deal, especially given the sporting project presented by Atlético de Madrid, which appeals to the Spanish international and is speeding up the decision-making process. It is worth remembering that the full-back was linked with Barcelona, Juventus, and Milan.

It should be remembered that Grimaldo played for Benfica between 2016 and 2023, leaving an important mark at the Luz before moving to Bayer Leverkusen. At Atlético de Madrid, another notable former Benfica player also shone, goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who became one of the Spanish club’s key figures.
