Barcelona still have Alejandro Grimaldo as their first choice left-back, but the situation has become increasingly interesting after reports that Real Madrid are also ready to turn to the full-back if they miss out on Benfica’s Alvaro Carreras.
Barcelona ‘s main targets for reinforcements this summer are to bring in a new goalkeeper and a left winger, but if their financial situation allows it, they will also want to address other weaknesses in the team, including the left-back position.
Deco does not want an inexperienced player like Gerard Martin to be the first-choice player for the Catalan team when Alejandro Balde is unable to play.
According to เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย , Barcelona’s most popular player in this position is Alejandro Grimaldo, whose quality, experience and links with his club make him an attractive prospect for the club.
In fact, the Catalan side have been tracking the full-back for several months and are understood to want to leave Bayer Leverkusen and return to his native Spain, so the Germans will not try too hard to block his move if the right offer comes in.
Although he is valued at €40 million according to Transfermarkt, he could be available for less than half of that figure, around €15-18 million.
However, it remains to be seen whether Barcelona will have enough money left to sign him. Meanwhile, Grimaldo is still waiting for news from interested clubs, while his future at Leverkusen is also quite secure, as he is contracted until 2027 and is a regular in that position.
One such club is Real Madrid, who have Alvaro Carreras as their main target for the position, but are also keeping an eye on Grimaldo if they are unable to land the Benfica defender.
