Baena in Sight: The New Beacon of Atlético?
Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Álex Baena, the talented Villarreal player, as a possible star reinforcement for the upcoming season. After a season where the team has shown flashes of greatness, the board, with Simeone at the helm, is looking to shore up the project with players who make a difference.
Baena, with his game vision, ability to find spaces, and passing accuracy, is shaping up as the ideal complement to boost the Rojiblancos’ attack and take on the role that Griezmann has been playing. Atlético’s interest in Baena is not new, and this summer could be the decisive one.
Villarreal, aware of the player’s potential, will wait until the end of the season to listen to formal offers. They know of Atlético’s interest, although it has not yet been formalized.
At the Colchoneros club, they see Baena as a strategic signing, a player capable of making a difference in the final meters and with the ability to break through rival defenses with precise passes.
With a contract until 2028 and a release clause of 55 million, Atlético will have to negotiate to secure Baena’s services. The Rojiblancos board is confident that they can reach an agreement that benefits both parties and thus add to their ranks a player who excites the fans and promises to be a fundamental pillar in the future of the team at the Metropolitano.
