Alex Grimaldo has confirmed he would love to return to Barcelona one day. The Benfica star has claimed Camp Nou will always be his home and that he will jump on the chance of a return.
Benfica signed Grimaldo from Barcelona in December 2015. The left-back moved for a reported €1.5 million and has since been linked with various clubs across Europe.
Grimaldo will be playing at Camp Nou this week as Barcelona take on Benfica in the Champions League. The defender was speaking to Mundo Deportivo when he was asked about the possibility of a return to the Catalan club.
Commenting on the game this week, Grimaldo said:
However, the left-back has confirmed he will not celebrate a goal against his former side as he is proud of his time in La Masia.
Xavi is set to take charge of his first Champions League game this week and Grimaldo has backed the new manager to turn things around at Barcelona.
Xavi made a winning start to his Barcelona career with a 1-0 win over Espanyol in the Catalan derby. The Spanish side can seal their place in the next round of the Champions League this week with a win.
