Alejandro Grimaldo is thriving as a top performer at Bayer Leverkusen. The left-back was therefore called up for the Spanish national team for the first time. There is also speculation about a possible move to a top European club. Now the name of FC Bayern is mentioned.
As transfer reporter Ekrem Konur writes on X (formerly Twitter), FC Bayern could make an attempt on Grimaldo in the winter. No further details are given in this context.
In any case, a transfer in January seems unrealistic. On the one hand, Grimaldo only moved to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer and still has a long-term contract with the Bundesliga leaders until 2027.
On the other hand, the left-back position is not FC Bayern’s biggest construction site. With Alphonso Davies and Raphael Guerreiro, the record champions have two prominent options available to them.
“The quality is high in the positions of central defense, right-back or six, but it’s no secret that we are still looking for alternatives,” Munich’s sports director Christoph Freund recently revealed to “Sport Bild” about the club’s current transfer plans.
Bayer Leverkusen: Grimaldo raves about Real Madrid
Grimaldo, who is said to have been offered to Borussia Dortmund in the past, recently raved about Real Madrid himself.
“Real Madrid is one of the best teams in the world, if not the best. And it is a team that every player wants to go to,” the 28-year-old told the OK Diario portal. An attempt to flirt with the Royals?
The fact is: Grimaldo drew attention to himself through his strong performances in the service of Bayer Leverkusen. The veteran was recently called up for the Spanish national team for the first time in his career.
