Atletico Madrid activates plan B after Cucurella signing

Atletico Madrid activates plan B after Cucurella signing by Real Madrid. The Valencian left-back Grimaldo, who was already on previous lists, regains prominence in the plans of the rojiblancos to strengthen the left flank.

What happened?

The name of Alejandro Grimaldo is gaining strength again in Atletico Madrid's sports planning. After the club focused its efforts on signing Marc Cucurella, the incorporation of the Spanish international by Real Madrid has forced the sports management to reactivate alternatives to strengthen the left flank.

Why is it important for Atletico Madrid?

In this new scenario, Grimaldo reappears as a very serious option. The Bayer Leverkusen player has several characteristics that Diego Simeone is looking for: international experience, offensive ability, good footwork in ball output, and a deep knowledge of Spanish football.

What comes next?

The interest in Grimaldo is not new. The Valencian left-back had already appeared on previous lists of candidates to strengthen the left flank of the Metropolitano, although at different times he lost prominence in favor of other objectives considered a priority. However, the market movements have changed the landscape and have returned his name to the forefront of rojiblanca news.

Atletico Madrid is currently in fourth place in the League, with 69 points and a record of 21 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses in 38 games. The season has been irregular, with a recent performance of LWWLW. The team is looking to strengthen itself to compete for all titles in the next season.
