The leading club to sign Grimaldo is …

Alejandro Grimaldo is expected to become one of the hottest names of the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to reports highlighted by TuttoJuve, the Bayer Leverkusen full-back has emerged as a major target for Chelsea, with Xabi Alonso reportedly identifying the Spanish defender as one of the priorities to strengthen his squad.

The Spanish coach knows Grimaldo’s qualities perfectly after working closely with him in Germany, where the 1995-born star became a key figure in Alonso’s tactical system at Bayer Leverkusen.

Chelsea Preparing Concrete Offer

Grimaldo is coming off another outstanding season. Across league and cup competitions, the left-back produced impressive numbers, once again proving decisive both offensively and in build-up play.

Goals, assists, creativity, and consistent performances have significantly boosted his international reputation, with many now considering him among the best players in his position in Europe.

With Xabi Alonso expected to reshape Chelsea’s squad, the Blues are reportedly preparing a serious move to beat the competition.

Alonso views Grimaldo as a perfect fit for his style of football thanks to his attacking runs, technical quality in tight spaces, and ability to contribute heavily in offensive phases.

One of the most attractive aspects of the potential deal is the transfer fee. Reports suggest Grimaldo could be available for less than €12 million, a figure considered extremely affordable for a player of his quality and experience.

Juventus and Milan Also in the Race

Chelsea are not alone in the pursuit, however. Juventus and Milan are both closely monitoring the situation, appreciating Grimaldo’s international experience and tactical versatility.

Spanish giants Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also keeping tabs on developments, especially with the player open to the possibility of returning to La Liga.

Questions remain over how Chelsea would manage the coexistence between Grimaldo and Marc Cucurella, who already occupies the left-sided role in the London club’s squad.

After several important years in the Bundesliga, Grimaldo now appears increasingly ready to close his chapter with Bayer Leverkusen. The coming weeks are expected to be decisive in determining which project will ultimately convince the Spanish star.
