Álex Grimaldo could leave Leverkusen on the cheap, ex-Benfica in demand | OneFootball

Alejandro Grimaldo could change clubs in the upcoming summer transfer window. With just one year left on his contract with Bayer Leverkusen, the left-back, who previously played for Benfica, is being tipped to leave for less than €12 million, which has already caught the attention of several top European clubs.

Teams like Juventus and Milan are keeping a close eye on the situation, while Barcelona are also monitoring the player closely, according to 'Sport'. Even so, the Spaniard’s preference is to return to Spain, while hoping to receive an offer from clubs such as Barça itself or even Atlético Madrid.

Barcelona, in fact, were already close to signing Grimaldo last summer, in a deal that would have been worth around €15 million. However, the transfer ultimately fell through due to the lack of departures from the squad, namely the stay of Gerard Martín, which made the move impossible at the time.

Now, the situation remains open, but it depends on several movements within the Catalan squad. The possible arrival of Grimaldo - who recently scored a brilliant goal - is directly linked to the future of Alejandro Baldé, and if he stays, the deal is unlikely to go through.

Alejandro Grimaldo - valued at €24 million - has made 40 appearances in the current 2025/26 season. In the 3,498 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the 'number 20' has recorded 14 goals and 11 assists.
