Bayer's former henchman Alex Grimaldo may change the club this summer.

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Atletico is actively working on the transfer of the 30-year-old footballer and continues negotiations with the Leverkusen club.

According to Dzherel, Bayer insurance company will pay out about 25 million euros for its citizen with bonuses.. Natomist Atletico is not ready to go beyond 18-20 million euros, including all possible additional payments.

The main problem lies with the structure of the land. Madrid intends to pay only 10-13 million euros in guaranteed payments, even as the sum may be formed for the bonus scheme. At the same time, the negotiation process is challenging, and good communications between clubs can help the parties find a compromise.

An important factor is the position of the football player himself.

It appears that there are a lot of clicks on the turn to Spain, which may contribute to the successful completion of the relocations.

Apparently, Bayer signed the reserve in 2023 as a free agent after leaving Benfica. As a result, the Spaniard became one of the team’s key players.

In the 2025/26 season, Grimaldo demonstrated impressive performance for a defensive leader: in 46 matches, he scored 14 goals and provided 12 assists, confirming his status as one of the greatest left wingers in Europe.
