2025/26 season performance

Álex Grimaldo arrives at Atleti after putting together another standout season in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen. The Spanish full-back played 29 matches, scoring 8 goals and 8 assists, extraordinary numbers for a defender that once again underline his huge attacking influence.

Grimaldo is one of the most attacking full-backs in European football. He stands out for his crossing precision, his quality from set pieces, his arrival in the opponent's box and his ability to create chances with both assists and goals. He is a player who tends to live in the opposition half and offers far more than a conventional defender.

Price and valuation

• Current value: 6.220.000 €
• Minimum (last month): 3.690.000 €
• Maximum (last month): 6.220.000 €

His price has just reached the maximum of the last month, but he still offers an interesting margin for growth. Given the level he has shown in recent seasons and his ability to produce attacking numbers that are unusual for a defender, it would not be surprising to see his value continue rising once the competition gets underway.

Sporting context

The Atleti sign Grimaldo to make him one of the team's key references from the left flank. His international experience and his attacking profile mark him out as a player set to play a starring role from matchday one.

Along with securing plenty of minutes, his importance in set-piece situations significantly boosts his Fantasy potential.

Fantasy stats (previous season)

• Matches: 29
• Goals: 8
• Assists: 8
• Minutes: 2.524
• Cards: 5

Fantasy points data and the average for the previous season are not available.

Market trend

? Buys: 51%
? Sales: 2%
? Use: 31%

The market is responding very well to his arrival. The high percentage of buys and the low number of sales reflect managers' confidence that he will be one of the highest-performing defenders in the league.

Risks

The main challenge will be translating to LaLiga the extraordinary attacking output he showed in Germany. Reaching eight-goal and eight-assist numbers again will not be easy, although his style of play allows him to create danger consistently.

Potential

Grimaldo has the potential to place among the best Fantasy defenders of the season. Very few players in his position offer such a complete combination of goals, assists, set pieces and consistency.

Fantasy recommendation

He is one of the most attractive signings to strengthen your defence. His current value of 6.22 million euros in Biwenger, for example, looks very competitive for a player who comes off 8 goals and 8 assists in 29 matches, numbers within reach of very few defenders.

His experience, his attacking role and the strong interest from the market suggest that his value will keep rising over the coming weeks. It is a highly recommended pick for both immediate returns and revaluation potential.

Maximum recommended price: 7.800.000 €

League type: All leagues.

Manager profile: Ideal for anyone looking for a differential defender, with runs into the box, set-piece involvement and the ability to make a difference match after match.

Fantasy note: 9,5/10
