Barcelona, Bayern Monitor Leverkusen’s Grimaldo for Summer Move

Leverkusen’s preference for a sale to Spain aligns with the player’s reported wish to return, favoring Barcelona.

Overview

  • Barcelona are tracking the left-back for next summer and, at this stage, the situation is being monitored rather than negotiated.
  • Bayern’s interest reflects left-back uncertainty caused by Alphonso Davies’ long injury layoff and Raphaël Guerreiro’s expiring deal, with attempts reported to lure the player.
  • Leverkusen are reluctant to sell to Bundesliga rivals yet would facilitate a La Liga move if Grimaldo requests it.
  • The Spaniard is said to prioritize a return to La Liga, giving Barcelona a perceived edge in any pursuit.
  • Grimaldo is under contract until 2027 with a reported €15–20m clause and has seven goals and four assists this season.
