Within Benfica They are looking for the new Grimaldo. The current player of Bayer Leverkusen He played 8 seasons for the Lisbon club, straight from Barça B to the first team of a big team. Although it was difficult for him in the early years, he got somewhere as a starter, until he became what he is today, one of the best left backs in the world.
The Spanish void is still valid at Benfica and that is why they are looking to repeat the operation they did at the time to find another full-back with so much weight in attack. The chosen one was Álvaro Fernández, who currently plays for Granada, although he plays a bit more advanced. The 20-year-old was on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season, but pressure from Benfica saw the loan expire. The Lisbon team will pay a figure close to 7 million, according to Portuguese media ‘Record’.
For Granada it will be a setback because there are not enough players in the left sector, quite the opposite. Furthermore, at first it took him a little while to adapt to LaLiga and now he has got his best performance. Alexander Medina, who asks the board to try to bring in new players, sees with concern how a footballer left who has been important to the goal of saving the category.
Granada, who from now until the end of the season will only play finals, will visit Benito Villamarín this Saturday to face Betis (9pm).
