Grimaldo's low release clause opens door to Barcelona move

Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Jonathan Tah (Bayern Munich), and Jeremie Frimpong (Liverpool) have already departed Bayer Leverkusen, while Florian Wirtz is reportedly close to joining Liverpool as well.

Another high-profile name who could follow them out the door is Alejandro Grimaldo, with the Spanish left-back increasingly linked with a return to his homeland.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Grimaldo has a release clause set below €20 million, possibly in the €15-18 million range.

That’s significantly lower than previous reports, which suggested a fee of €30-40 million would be required to tempt Leverkusen to sell.

The 29-year-old has been heavily linked with FC Barcelona, the club where he came through the youth ranks but never made a senior league appearance.

Atlético Madrid are also said to be keeping tabs on the Spanish international, who is under contract until 2027.
