FC Barcelona have been one of the best teams in the world this season under new manager Hansi Flick. The club have already won the Supercopa de España and the Copa Del Rey. They are also the favorites to win the La Liga, as they lead Real Madrid by four points. Meanwhile, they have qualified for the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League, where they will face Inter Milan.
The club are ready to strengthen their squad even more in the summer, and one position that they might look to address is the left-back spot. Alejandro Balde has been the starter for the club, but he has struggled with injury issues. Gerrard Martin has not been at that attacking level like Balde, and hence they need a player who can compete with Balde for that spot.
FC Barcelona Want To Sign Alejandro Grimaldo
According to a report by Sky Deutschland, Barcelona want to bring back Alejandro Grimaldo in the summer. Bayer Leverkusen will likely demand €30-40 million to sell him in the summer. He has been one of the best left-backs in the world in recent times. If we talk about his stats, Grimaldo has conceded 26 goals and kept eight clean sheets in 29 matches in the Bundesliga 2024/2025 season.
That means when he is on the pitch, his team concedes a goal every 94 minutes. Moreover, the Leverkusen star has made 0.92 tackles and 0.60 interceptions for every 90 minutes he was on the pitch. Grimaldo is also racking up about 1.23 clearances at the same time. He has amassed a total G/A of eight so far this season.
Will he be a good signing?
Alejandro Grimaldo has become one of Europe’s most exciting left-backs, possessing speed, smart movement, and pinpoint delivery in his game. He is a constant threat going forward, thanks to his sharp instincts and set-piece ability, but he is just as reliable at the back—reading the game well and tracking danger with confidence. Grimaldo’s work rate and technical polish make him a key figure for both Bayer Leverkusen and Spain.
For Barcelona, bringing Grimaldo back makes perfect sense. He knows the club’s DNA, having come through La Masia, and his attacking style fits seamlessly with their philosophy. At 29, he offers maturity and consistency that could immediately lift their left side. Given the growing interest around him, Barça would be wise to move quickly before the opportunity slips away.
