Relevo: Alonso wants to bring Grimaldo to Real Madrid; Gutierrez is also willing to return [sijing]

With Fran Garcia (Mendy injured) being the only regular left-back in the team, Real Madrid plans to sign a new player before the Club World Cup. The targets include Bayer Leverkusen defender Grimaldo and former youth academy player Miguel Gutierrez.
Grimaldo, who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen, is one of the key targets that Real Madrid is keeping an eye on. This player came through Barcelona's youth academy and has performed outstandingly this season. He possesses excellent left-footed cross skills and rich European competition experience, and has become a member of the Spanish national team. It is reported that Alonso himself highly appreciates this former disciple and believes that he is very suitable for his tactical system. If the transfer fee is appropriate, Real Madrid may officially start operations.
Besides Grimaldo, Miguel Gutierrez is also under consideration. This left-back, who was trained by Real Madrid's youth academy, currently plays for Girona. Real Madrid has the priority to repurchase him and only needs to pay 8 million euros to bring him back. It is reported that the player himself is also willing to return to the Bernabeu.
In addition, Real Madrid is also keeping an eye on Alvaro Fernandez and Ajax's young player Hato, but their market values are higher than those of Grimaldo and Gutierrez, making the operation more difficult.
