Barça and the agent Alexander Grimaldo (26 years old), Benfica side, they plan to meet to discuss the situation of the Valencian player. The appointment may not last long because we are at the stage where the squads are decided and Barça must strengthen the left side of its defense.
Grimaldo This is one of the favorite sides in the sports area. It favors that the contract will end 2023 and that he does not want to renew for Benfica. That leaves the Lisbon club in a difficult position: they can keep it, rush the remaining year of their contract, and see it free next year or put it on the market to try to make money this summer.
It is also in favor of the Valencia defender whose priority is to return to Barça, where he was between the summer of 2008 and the end of December 2015, when he went to Benfica who were transferred in the amount of 1.5 million. In a Blaugrana key, his knowledge of the culé position game gives him a plus against other candidates for left back. In fact, this is one of the concepts that Xavi Hernández values most: that his youth squads know the style in detail so as not to waste time explaining things they should have already internalized.
He is also supported by his goals and help data. In fact, it has the best total so far this season. He scored five goals and distributed five assists. That is, before +9 (1G +8A) of Jordi Albathe +5 of Gayà (2G +3A), the +9 of Alex Moreno (5G +4A) or the +7 of Tagliafico (2A+5G). Sure, for a defender the priority is the defense but know that at Barça full-backs must also contribute to the attack and Grimaldo it does.
