Alejandro Grimaldo leaving Bayer 04 Leverkusen?
Alejandro Grimaldo is preparing to leave Bayer Leverkusen after two seasons. He joined Leverkusen at the beginning of last season on a free transfer after his contract with Benfica ended. Grimaldo has stated multiple times that he was convinced to join Leverkusen by Xabi Alonso, and the coach's departure will lead him to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Grimaldo is set to leave Bayer Leverkusen in 2025, seeking a new European club that appreciates his experience and quality, as the door to FC Barcelona seems closed for now.
Alejandro Grimaldo was expected to start for Spain after a stellar first season in Germany. However, Luis de la Fuente opted to include Marc Cucurella in his starting XI against both Croatia and Italy, where Cucurella performed superbly.
Alejandro Grimaldo, currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen, has expressed his wish to play in Spain in the future. His contract with Bayer Leverkusen is until 2027. However, the club's director, Simon Rolfes, doesn't see a sale as a possible scenario for this upcoming summer and plans to keep him for the next season. Potential clubs in Spain for Grimaldo, given his desire to continue winning titles, could be Real Madrid or FC Barcelona.
