MADRID (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Alejandro Grimaldo is on the verge of joining Atlético Madrid for the upcoming season, according to the Spanish newspaper Marca. After the deal for Marc Cucurella fell through—derailed by a lightning-fast move from Real Madrid that upended Sporting Director Mateu Alemany’s plans—*Los Colchoneros* have set their sights on the Bayer Leverkusen full-back. There is strong optimism coming from Spain that the deal could be finalized for a fee of around 20 million euros, including bonuses. Atlético Madrid is aided significantly by the Spaniard’s contract situation; with his deal expiring in a year, the German club is forced to lower its financial demands. For his part, Grimaldo welcomes the move to Spain, driven by a desire to establish himself in his home country.
