There, the 29-year-old, who has been playing in Heidenheim since 2023, has already put pen to paper on a contract until 2028.

Gimber successfully passed the medical check with Granada today, with the announcement of the deal confirmed by Granada.

With regards to a transfer fee, the German second-division club will reportedly receive a low six-figure amount.

It comes as somewhat of a blow for an already defensively thin Heidenheim squad, begging the question if a replacement will be acquired.
