Alejandro Grimaldo has been called up by Spain for the World Cup, which begins next Thursday (11). However, the goal-scoring full-back is on the market after Bayer Leverkusen (GER) set an asking price to negotiate the player. As a result, the defender could emerge as an option for Flamengo, who are monitoring alternatives for the next transfer window.
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, a transfer specialist, Bayer Leverkusen are demanding 15 million euros (R$ 88.9 million at the current exchange rate) for Grimaldo. The Germans are willing to listen to offers for the 30-year-old Spaniard.
Alejandro Grimaldo has been one of the full-backs with the highest goal involvement in recent seasons. That is because, in three years at Bayer Leverkusen, he has scored 30 goals and provided 41 assists for his teammates.
However, because of his age, Alejandro Grimaldo could still be sold by Bayer Leverkusen, even though he is going to the World Cup. That is because the 30-year-old full-back is under contract with the German club until June 2027.
Flamengo are in the market looking at options for left-back. Currently, Alex Sandro is the starter, while Ayrton Lucas serves as backup. Finally, Matías Viña is on loan at River Plate (ARG) until the end of the year.
In recent weeks, Flamengo even submitted an offer to Cruzeiro for left-back Kaiki, who was called up to the Brazil national team. However, the Minas Gerais club chose to reject the Rubro-Negro side’s offer for the player.
