Xabi Alonso is widely expected to take over as Real Madrid head coach following his departure from Bayer Leverkusen - and reports suggest he could bring Alejandro Grimaldo, among others, with him to the Spanish capital.

Grimaldo added fuel to the speculation during a recent interview on Spanish TV show El Chiringuito.

“That makes me really happy, honestly. It’s an honor,” Grimaldo said, adding:

“It makes me happy that a team like Madrid and that people even think I’m at the level to be part of the biggest clubs in the world.
