Currently at the World Cup, the versatile left‑back can play across multiple positions, including wing‑back, inside forward, or attacking midfielder.

His technical quality and attacking output will add a new dimension to Diego Simeone’s side. Grimaldo’s arrival is expected to provide competition and depth on the left flank, offering tactical flexibility. The move is part of Atlético’s broader squad building strategy.
