Baena on Atleti's radar: A flight towards the Metropolitano?
The future of Álex Baena, talented player of Villarreal, has become a topic of conversation among the Colchoneros fans. Fernando Roig, president of the Castellón club, has declared that they will not clip Baena’s wings if he decides to seek new horizons, fueling the rumors that link him with Atlético de Madrid.
Roig recognizes the importance of the player, but emphasizes that Villarreal must always prevail, with or without him. The possible arrival of Baena to Atleti excites the fans, who see in him a luxury reinforcement for the next season.
Baena, who has a release clause of 60 million euros, has been a key player for Villarreal. His quality and vision of the game have made him one of the most outstanding players in La Liga. Recently, he was awarded the Golden Ball as the best player of the season for Villarreal, a recognition of his great performance.
In the last game of the season, Baena was in the starting lineup and scored a great goal that delighted the fans. Although there is no official confirmation, Atlético de Madrid’s interest in Baena is evident.
Cholo Simeone seeks to strengthen his squad with talented players and Baena fits perfectly into his scheme. The Red and White fans dream of seeing him defend the Atleti shirt and display his magic at the Metropolitano. The negotiation will not be easy, but hope remains alive.
