According to sources, BENFICA star Alejandro Grimaldo is in negotiations to join the Premier League.

Although the 27-year-old has previously been closely associated with Arsenal, other teams are currently in the lead.
According to The Athletic, the player has spoken with both Fulham and Nottingham Forest.
Nice of France have made him an alluring offer in the interim.

Together with Real Sociedad and Valencia from Spain, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen from Germany are vying for the services of the star player.

At the conclusion of this season, Grimaldo's contract with Benfica will expire, and he reportedly has no desire to renew.

The Spaniard attended Barcelona's academy before relocating to Lisbon in 2016.

Since then, he has played 291 times for Benfica and won three league titles.

This season, the aggressive left-back has appeared in 42 games for the team, contributing 13 assists in addition to five goals.

In addition to helping Roger Schmidt's team advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Grimaldo has extended their eight-point lead over Porto at the top of the Portuguese league.

Although he has never received a cap from Spain, his recent success has allowed him to be included in the team's preliminary roster for the Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Scotland and Norway later this month.

The midfielder apparently had a summer offer from Arsenal, but Mikel Arteta went with Oleksandr Zinchenko instead.

Furthermore in the past, Manchester City had interest in Grimaldo.
