Overview
- Grimaldo has agreed personal terms with Atlético on a three-year contract with an option for a fourth season, according to transfer reporters.
- The two clubs have not completed the transfer because they disagree on the fee, with reports valuing the package around €20 million and Bayer Leverkusen pushing for more than €25 million.
- Grimaldo leaves Leverkusen with one year left on his deal, and earlier interest from Barcelona did not turn into a formal offer.
- Atlético’s ATM fan token will not be changed on-chain by the signing but a high-profile transfer is likely to drive media attention and higher trading volume for the token.
- Atlético launched the ATM token with Chiliz and Socios.com in December 2020, and fan tokens give holders minor voting rights and perks rather than any club equity.
