Alejandro Grimaldo will not renew his contract with Benfica and wants to start a new journey next summer. According to journalist Pedro Sepúlveda, the full-back has not yet informed the Portuguese club of his decision.
This fact has not gone down well with the Portuguese club. However, all the drama was multiplied in the defeat against Chaves, where the Spanish full-back sent his team-mates to the dressing room after being booed at the end of the game.
As it could not be otherwise, it was a terrible feeling among the Lisbon fans and, according to 'Sport', some fans insulted Grimaldo before he boarded the plane to Milan for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
"Respect the club. Respect the club you've been at for eight years. You're a d*mb*", commented a Benfica fan when he saw the player. If the defender's departure was a foregone conclusion a few weeks ago, events like this are pushing him further and further away from renewal.
