Barcelona shows interest in Alejandro Grimaldo for €10 million

Barcelona is assessing the possibility of signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Alejandro Grimaldo, who could be available for around €10 million this summer. Grimaldo, a former La Masia player, has moved through various European clubs and has established himself as an influential full-back. With only one year left on his contract, Leverkusen is reportedly willing to sell rather than risk losing him for nothing. Competition for Grimaldo's signature includes Atletico Madrid, but Barcelona is particularly focused on strengthening their left-back position, contingent on the future of Alejandro Balde and Joao Cancelo.
