"Grimaldo excelled under Xabi Alonso as one of the best attacking full-backs in Europe. He excels in the final third, chipping in with goals and assists. The Spaniard currently has seven goals and four assists to his name in 15 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen this season. Grimaldo can also play further ahead in the attack as a winger, making him a tactical flexible player for any formation."
"Bayern may reach an agreement with Grimaldo for a summer transfer, but negotiating with Bayer Leverkusen will be an uphill battle. Leverkusen have adopted a tough stance on negotiations with Die Roten. They rejected several bids from Bayern for Jonathan Tah in 2024. Leverkusen were also adamant to get a significant fee to release Tah one month before his contract expired, as Bayern wanted him in the squad for the Club World Cup."
"Bayern Munich are expected to be busy next summer to strengthen their full-back department. The Bundesliga champions expect to see Raphael Guerreiro leave next summer on a free transfer, while Sacha Boey is the leading candidate for sale in the next two transfer windows. The Bavarian club is looking at several options in the market for the left-back position. The recent murmur in the German media suggests that Bayern have one Bundesliga full-back on their radar for the next summer transfer window."
Bayern Munich plan to reinforce full-back options amid expected departures, pursuing Bayer Leverkusen left-back Alejandro Grimaldo. Grimaldo has two years remaining on his Leverkusen contract and stayed after previous links to a return to Spain. He has seven goals and four assists in 15 appearances this season, offering strong final-third contributions and the ability to operate further forward as a winger. Bayer Leverkusen have taken a tough negotiating stance in recent dealings, rejecting bids and insisting on sizable fees, so any transfer talks for Grimaldo are likely to be difficult and costly.
