EBarcelona is in the midst of a battle to get a left-back to reinforce the squad. Many are the names that have sounded and many other offers that have reached the table of Matthew German. The most notorious has been that of Tagliafico, the Ajax player who has also made it clear that his preference would be to play in the set which.
MARCA has been able to know that there is a covered on the list of left-backs to compete with Jordi Alba on the Camp Nou side. This is Alejandro Grimaldo. the player of Benfica, that came out, precisely from the Barcelona youth academy, is one of the priorities and the Catalan club wants to take it with them during this market.
The player ends contract in June 2023 and despite being a key player in Benfica’s scheme and having played 30 games this season (including the six in the Champions League), he is on the market. It is not the first time that Barcelona has asked about Grimaldo’s situation. Last season Benfica got off the hook with a price of 30 million euros that did not fit into the Balugrana budget.
The player would be delighted to return to Bara and sources close to the operation have confirmed to MARCA that the price of the footballer has dropped ostensibly because in just over a year the contract with the Portuguese champion ends.
The Valencian winger grew up between the Valencia and Barcelona youth academies. In January 2016 he left Bara for Portugal after paying Benfica a little over two million euros. Years later, and converted into one of the most profitable full-backs in Europe, Bara went after him.
