Sky Sports' renowned Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has released a video on Thursday through his personal official YouTube channel to refute reports claiming that Barcelona has agreed to repurchase Bayer Leverkusen left-wing back Alejandro Grimaldo for €40 million.

Romano refuted in the video: "I have indeed received many private messages from Barcelona fans recently, asking me if Barça has really agreed to repurchase Grimaldo for €35 million to €40 million. Guys, as far as I know, this rumour is completely untrue."

"Barça has not approached Grimaldo at all. Their goal this summer is to strengthen their right-wing back position."

"Because the team already has two rising stars in Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin, the La Liga giants have no urgent need to spend a lot of money to sign such an excellent left-wing back like Grimaldo."

"So, in general, Barça has not made any approach with Grimaldo. They have always been preparing to sign a right-wing back and have even found several candidates. If there is new news in this regard, I will let everyone know as soon as possible."

Upon verification, the culprit which falsely claimed that Barcelona had agreed to repurchase Grimaldo from Bayer Leverkusen for €40 million, is again, our website's "Daily Slap in the Face Party" regular representative, the UK's top infamously notorious online media outlet 90Min!

Alejandro Grimaldo, 29, joined Leverkusen as a free agent after leaving Benfica in July 2023.

Since becoming a member of Die Werkself, Grimaldo has played 96 times for Leverkusen in all competitions so far, scoring 16 goals and 32 assists. During which he has won the Bundesliga once, the DFB-Pokal once, the DFL-Super Cup once, and reached the Europa League final once with the club.
