Alejandro Grimaldo, Bayer Leverkusen's left-back, expressed a desire to return to his youth club Barcelona despite a successful career abroad. Having left Barcelona's academy without a senior appearance, Grimaldo thrived at Benfica before moving to Leverkusen, where he became a key player in their historic league title win. At 29, he remains an elite full-back and has expressed a yearning to play in Spain again, stating that returning to Barcelona is his dream, while distancing himself from interest in other Spanish clubs like Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.
"I remember some interviews from when I was little in which I said my dream was to reach the Barca first team, and that has always remained my dream. I want to return to Spain in the short and medium term, and I'd like to experience being in Spain because, after all, it's my country."
Alejandro Grimaldo has developed into one of the most potent attacking full-backs in world football at Bayer Leverkusen, helping the team win its first-ever league title without suffering a single domestic defeat.
