Barcelona could swoop for Granada keeper Luis Maximiano in the coming weeks following the Andalucians relegation.
Maximiano topped the La Liga save charts at the end of the 2021/22 campaign, after making 127 stops in 3,137 minutes of top-flight action, despite Granada’s struggles in recent months.
Relegation for Granada and Maximiano means his release clause at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes has now dropped down from €25m to €12.5m.
As per reports from Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are monitoring the Portuguese stopper, amid a likely exit for current deputy Neto next month.
However, he could also be offered a possible return to his native country, with Benfica looking to secure a move, if they complete an agreement to sell Darwin Nunez to Liverpool.
Granada are preparing for an incoming player exodus ahead of the 2022/23 season, as Aitor Karanka aims to readjust his squad following relegation, with Darwin Machis the first likely departure.
