Benfica are willing to "do everything" to convince Nottingham Forest summer target Alejandro Grimaldo to extend his stay at the club, according to reports in Portugal.
The left-back is out of contract at the end of the season, meaning he is now able to hold talks with overseas clubs about a potential free transfer move when the summer window opens. It was reported this week that Forest have held talks with the player over a possible move.
Grimaldo is Benfica’s first choice left-back and has been in good form in recent weeks, providing four assists in his last four league games, including two in Sunday’s 3-0 away win over Maritimo. He also provided an assist in the midweek 5-1 Champions League win over Club Brugge, with Benfica coming out as 7-1 winners on aggregate to book themselves a place in the quarter-final.
