Speculation is increasing about the upcoming transition market for Real Madrid, as Florian Vertz and Jeremy Frampong appear to be a priority under Chappy Alonso’s potential plans.
Some point out that the left player from Leverkusen might be a preferred option if Alonso took over the team training on July 1, 2025. Pending the results of the future of Carlo Ancelotti, and with the current status of the team, the club is expected to search for reinforcements in some centers during the coming period.
Despite reports linking Real Madrid to many players, it appears that Real Madrid may direct its attention towards strengthening the position of the left back.
In this context, Alejandro Grimaldo, the 29-year-old player, who shines under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, is traded in Bayer Leverkusen. Grimaldo, who previously played in Barcelona, has shown remarkable development in Germany, and has become considered a potential option in Santiago Bernabio, especially as opportunities for contracting with Alfonso Davis decline.
Grimaldo himself has confirmed on more than one occasion that he aspires to play in Spain, noting that Real Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world, adding that he does not mind joining them in the future.
However, his move to Real Madrid is not easy. Under the club’s fiscal policy, the player’s price is expected to be at least 40 million euros, which could be a challenge given the club’s budget.
Moreover, Grimaldo will be in competition with other players such as Fairland Mindy, Fran Garcia, and Miguel Gutierrez who can offer alternative options in the center of the left back.
However, it remains that Xabi Alonso admires Grimaldo, whether in Germany or in Madrid, which may affect the decisions of the club if the Basque player decides to return to Spain.
