Benfica have not given up on holding onto defender Alejandro Grimaldo amid reports linking him with a free transfer to Nottingham Forest and Fulham.
The Spanish left-back's contract with the Portuguese outfit expires this summer and it seems likely that he will leave the club when it does. With the player set to become a free agent clubs from the Premier League and across Europe have signalled their interest, including the Reds.
But Benfica have reportedly put Operation Renewal into action as they try to get Grimaldo to sign a contract extension, according to A Bola (via SportWitness). It is claimed that he has not committed to any club for now as he assesses his options.
