La Liga
Atletico Madrid is making decisive moves in the transfer market and has a name in mind: Álex Baena. The Andalusian midfielder, a key piece in Villarreal's system, has become one of the most closely followed players by Atletico's sports management for the upcoming season. The 'Colchonero' club aims to strengthen its squad with a creative and disruptive profile, and Baena fits perfectly into that idea.
The season of the player from Roquetas de Mar has not gone unnoticed. His performance in LaLiga has positioned him as one of the great revelations of the championship, arousing interest not only in Spain but also abroad, with Aston Villa being one of his main suitors. However, as reported by EstadioDeportivo, Atletico aims to play their cards before anyone else and is determined to convince him as soon as possible.
Atletico is in a hurry, the Premier League is also after him
One significant argument that the Madrid team holds is its participation in the next Club World Cup, an international event to be held in the United States. Baena wouldn't be able to compete if he chose to move to the Premier League. From the Metropolitano, they present that tournament as a unique opportunity to project his career and consolidate his position in the elite.
Furthermore, the player, who has already turned down lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia, only considers taking the leap to a project with real aspirations. Atletico Madrid is aware of this and aims to close the deal as soon as possible.
