There is growing speculation regarding Real Madrid\u2019s upcoming transfer market, with Florian Vertz and Jeremy Frimpong seemingly high on the list of priorities for Chapi Alonso\u2019s potential plans.<\/p>\n
Some observers suggest that the left-back from Bayer Leverkusen could be a favored choice if Alonso takes over the team\u2019s management on July 1, 2025. Depending on the future of Carlo Ancelotti and the current state of the squad, the club is expected to look for reinforcements in certain areas in the near future.<\/p>\n
Although various players have been linked to Real Madrid, the club seems to be focusing on strengthening the left-back position.<\/p>\n
In this context, Alejandro Grimaldo, a 29-year-old who has impressed under Xabi Alonso\u2019s guidance, is playing for Bayer Leverkusen. Grimaldo, who had previously been with Barcelona, has shown significant growth in Germany and is now regarded as a potential target for Santiago Bernab\u00e9u, especially as the chances of signing Alphonso Davies diminish.<\/p>\n
Grimaldo has openly stated on several occasions that he dreams of playing in Spain, acknowledging that Real Madrid is one of the best clubs in the world, and he would not be opposed to joining them in the future.<\/p>\n
However, a transfer to Real Madrid is not straightforward. Given the club\u2019s financial policies, his transfer fee is expected to be at least 40 million euros, which may pose a challenge considering the club\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Grimaldo would face competition from other left-backs like Ferland Mendy, Fran Garc\u00eda, and Miguel Guti\u00e9rrez, all of whom provide alternative options in that position.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, Xabi Alonso\u2019s admiration for Grimaldo, whether in Germany or Madrid, could influence the club\u2019s decision-making if the Basque manager chooses to return to Spain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
