Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
Always limited in terms of its wallet, Barça is on the lookout for market opportunities that may arise. After recruiting free players last summer, like Andreas Christensen, the Blaugranas would like to do it again this year while the noose around its finances remains tight. If the Inigo Martinez track seems well advanced, a parallel file leads to Portugal and more precisely to Benfica Lisbon. According to Portuguese journalist Pedro Almeida, the La Liga leader is in “advanced talks” with Alejandro Grimaldo, whose lease with the Eagles ends in June.
La Liga are closely following the player
The 27-year-old left-back represents a nice blow even if the left-back position is not the most to be pitied for Xavi. In effect, the daily Sport recalls it, Alejandro Balde, Jordi Alba and Marcos Alonso are already vying for minutes in the hallway. The three players should stay at the club while the priority for the Barcelona leaders remains first to find a right side. Former de la Masia and arrived in 2016 at Benfica, the Spaniard Grimaldo is very followed in his country of origin since Atlético Madrid would also closely monitor his situation. It remains to know his ambitions, he who could also be offered a contract extension by the quarter-finalist of the Champions League. Case to follow.
To sum up
After recruiting free players last summer, like Andreas Christensen, the Blaugranas would like to do it again this year while the noose around its finances remains tight. If the Inigo Martinez track seems well advanced, a parallel file leads to Portugal and more precisely to Benfica Lisbon.
