Barcelona wonderkid blames coach Luis Enrique for potential departure

As we reported last week, Barcelona wonderkid Alejandro Grimaldo is set to leave the club next summer since his contract is set to expire and he hasn't been approached for an extension yet. A number of European contenders have already reached out to him for a free transfer next July, and his departure from Catalonia is a foregone conclusion at this point.

The saddest thing about Grimaldo leaving is that he won't get a real chance with the first team. He had very few minutes in Luis Enrique's first preseason at Barça, and the coach has never called the player back since then.
