According to Mundo Deportivo, Spanish defender Grimaldo has repeatedly emphasized that he joined Atletico Madrid with "great ambition."

Grimaldo was officially unveiled as Atletico Madrid's new signing. The player is the club's first signing for the 2026-27 season. Although his arrival was announced on June 30, his official unveiling ceremony was delayed by a month and a half because he was with the Spanish national team winning the World Cup in the United States.

The 30-year-old footballer signed with Atletico Madrid until 2030. The Rojiblancos paid Bayer Leverkusen €15 million in transfer fees, plus €8 million in add-ons. This season, he will play as a left-back for Diego Pablo Simeone's team. The player answered

at the unveiling ceremony, "I'm very happy to be here. As I said a few weeks ago, I'm fulfilling a dream."

"I'm really looking forward to coming here and showing my attitude, my skills, and my ambition. I know we have a fantastic fanbase. The coach also showed me the ambition of this club. I'm very eager to start this journey in the match against Malaga and fight for a win."

"Everyone knows Cholo (Simeone), he's very dedicated. I noticed this in my first two training sessions with him. I found him to be very eager for success. His ideas are very similar to mine, and I believe we will work together to win championships for this club."

"In the world of football, you never know what will happen. This is my opportunity, and I've come with great ambition, I want to emphasize that. This is my mentality: to come here and achieve great things."

"We have a great team, a great coach. We are ready to fight for everything."

"Regarding Cucurella, we have to separate the world of football from personal life. I have a great friendship with him, and that won't change."

"Everyone knows I'm a footballer. I think I can contribute a lot of effort and ambition. I also want to do my best to help young players develop the same ambition."

"In the world of football, playing a match every three days is a lot of pressure, but I know how to handle it. I'm ready to take on this pressure."

"I have a good relationship with Puivert, Llorente, and Baena, and they all spoke highly of the team and the fans. It's very important to be back in the locker room with friends. Before the transfer window opened, I knew very clearly that I wanted to come here."

"I am a very ambitious person, and my goals are very clear. I want to win titles, and be the best full-back in La Liga, and I won't be satisfied if I don't achieve that goal."
