Atletico Madrid would already have practically closed the arrival of Álex Baena for the upcoming season. According to various reports, the midfielder from Villarreal has given the green light to join the team led by Diego Pablo Simeone, a move that will be formalized once the current season ends.

Álex Baena, at 23 years old, has established himself as one of the most outstanding talents in LaLiga. His impact at Villarreal has been remarkable, playing a key role in Marcelino García Toral's strategies. However, the player feels that the time has come to face a new challenge in his career, and the Atletico Madrid project is highly appealing to him.

The offer is already on Villarreal's table

As reported by EstadioDeportivo, despite his contract with Villarreal running until 2028 and his release clause being 60 million euros, everything indicates that the deal will be closed for a sum close to 50 million, also including the loan of Roro Riquelme to the yellow team.

Baena, who has played 28 games this season, scoring six goals and providing eight assists, will sign one of the most important contracts of his career. His current salary, of approximately two million euros gross annually, would see a significant increase at the Metropolitano but still below the top wages in the team. Pending official confirmation, all signs point to Álex Baena wearing red and white next summer.
