Baena in sight: Simeone responds with cunning
Atlético de Madrid has a clear target for next season: Álex Baena. The young Villarreal player is seen as an ideal addition to the team, and the club is working to secure his signing.
There is a great consensus at the Metropolitano about Baena’s talent, and Diego Simeone, El Cholo, shares this opinion, highly valuing the player’s qualities. During the press conference before the match against Deportivo Alavés, Simeone was asked about Baena.
True to his style, the Argentinian coach did not reveal his cards. Avoiding falling into the trap of rumors, Simeone responded with a smile and a clever evasion. He acknowledged that Baena is a “great football player”, but refused to give more details that could fuel speculation about his possible arrival at Atlético. El Cholo made it clear that it would not be so easy to extract information from him, demonstrating his cunning and protecting the club’s interests in the transfer market.
