Atletico agreed on the Grimaldo-Romano transfer

Bayer Leverkusen left-back Alejandro Grimaldo will soon become an Atletico player. Insider insider reported that an agreement had been reached between all parties. According to the source, "pharmacists" agreed to release the 30-year-old Spaniard after receiving a final offer from the Madrid club. The total amount of the deal, including bonuses, will exceed 20 million euros. The football player's personal contract with Atletico was agreed last week. An important factor was the desire of Grimaldo himself, who wanted to continue his career in Diego Simeone's team. The defender actually did not consider other options. It was previously reported that Bayer took into account bonuses, while Madrid tried to reduce the cost of the operation. In the end, the parties found a compromise option. Grimaldo has been with Bayer Leverkusen since the summer of 2023 when he moved to Germany as a free agent after leaving Benfica. Last season, the Spaniard played 46 matches in all competitions, scored 14 goals and provided 12 assists.
