If you follow Barcelona regularly, then you will be quite aware of Alex Grimaldo.
The Barcelona left-back just turned 18 a few weeks ago but has always seemed older than his stated age. He has spent most of his youth career playing with much older players and that is continuing at Barcelona B.
Grimaldo has already been capped by Spain’s U-19 and U-21 side, showing just how promising the young defender is.
He is known for his pace and is one of the quickest defenders to come out of La Masia recently. The teenager is just as capable of attacking as he is defending and is drawing comparisons with Barcelona’s Jordi Alba.
Having just joined the reserve team, it will be a few years before he is ready to compete at the top level.
By that time Adriano is unlikely still to be wearing the Barcelona shirt, giving Grimaldo a good chance of earning a backup role in the first team.
