Barcelona can sign left-back target for just €12m this summer

Barcelona have harboured doubts about their full-back positions this season, and while it remains to be seen whether that will lead to action in the transfer market, they are assessing their options. One name that has been frequently linked with the Blaugrana is former La Masia product Alejandro Grimaldo.

The Spain international, who has been a key player in recent years for Bayer Leverkusen, has been keen on a return to Spain for some time. The 30-year-old has voiced as much, and was linked to all of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid last summer, but none made a decisive move for him.

Grimaldo available for just €12m this summer

With just a year left on his deal, Fussballdaten (via Sport) claim that Leverkusen will consider his exit for just €12m this summer, to avoid losing him for free. Their information goes on to say that Juventus and Milan are also looking at his signing. Last summer Barcelona reached an agreement on personal terms with Grimaldo, but decided not to push ahead with a €15m deal.
