Amid Atletico Madrid's Interest, Grimaldo Desires to Leave Leverkusen

The Spanish left-back Alex Grimaldo is preparing to leave Bayer Leverkusen during the summer transfer window, as he wishes to return to the Spanish league and embark on a new experience in La Liga.

Journalist Nicolo Schira mentioned on his official account on the "X" platform that Grimaldo, who is 30 years old, is open to leaving Bayer Leverkusen this summer, with a preference to continue his career in Spanish football.

The source added that Atletico Madrid has shown interest in signing the Spanish defender and has made an offer that includes a contract lasting until the summer of 2029, with an option to extend it for an additional season until 2030.

Grimaldo is under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until June 2027, which means any potential transfer would require reaching an agreement with the German club during the summer transfer window.

The player is considered one of the most prominent left-backs in Europe in recent years, which has led Atletico Madrid to target him to strengthen their left flank in preparation for the upcoming season.
