The 30-year-old Spanish international is set to be acquired for approximately €23 million, a figure that includes all potential bonuses. All parties have reportedly reached an agreement, with Grimaldo himself having already finalized a contract with the "Rojiblancos" until 2029, with an option for an additional year.

The defender spent the last three seasons at Leverkusen, playing a pivotal role in their historic Bundesliga title win, the German Cup, and the German Supercup in 2024. He has made 145 appearances for the "Werkself," scoring 30 goals and providing 45 assists, with many of his goals coming from spectacular free-kicks.

Currently, the Barcelona academy product is with the Spanish national team at the 2026 World Cup, where he has earned 14 caps. Grimaldo did not feature in "La Furia Roja's" first two matches of the tournament.
