Real Madrid has already made a definitive decision regarding the reinforcement for the left-back position. Despite rumors linking Alejandro Grimaldo to the club, the entity led by Florentino Pérez has chosen to finalize the signing of Álvaro Carreras, a young talent who will arrive to compete with Ferland Mendy and Fran García, provided that neither of the two leaves in this transfer window. If no departures occur, one of them will significantly decrease his playing time this season.
Grimaldo, who has recently expressed his desire to play in Spain and for a top-level club, has never been a priority target for Real Madrid. Although his experience and performance are appealing, being close to 30 years old and having a contract until 2027 with Bayer Leverkusen were decisive factors in the club not pursuing his signing.

Furthermore, from Valdebebas, they wanted to maintain the excellent relationship with Bayer and have made it clear to the German club that there is no genuine interest in Grimaldo. They do not want their actions to be misunderstood following the player's statements, hence they have acted with complete transparency to avoid any suspicions.
As reported by 'DefensaCentral', Leverkusen deeply appreciates Real Madrid's gesture, especially at a time when their project is starting to crumble after Xabi Alonso's departure and the imminent exits of Florian Wirtz to Liverpool and Jonathan Tah to Bayern. Grimaldo is a key player in the team, and his departure would be another severe blow, which is why the German club is grateful that Real Madrid has formally ruled out the option of signing the left-back.
