The sports management of Real Madrid is paying special attention to Álex Baena, the current player of Villarreal, who has established himself as one of the most promising talents in LaLiga. For over a year, the "merengue" club has been compiling detailed reports on the young midfielder, considering that his development could make him the natural heir to Luka Modric at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Baena, 23, has shown surprising football maturity for his age. His ability to distribute the ball, his vision of the game, and his skill to break lines have allowed him to stand out in the midfield of Villarreal. These qualities have caught the attention of Real Madrid, which sees in him a player with the necessary profile to assume a leadership role in the team's future midfield.
His signing could be brought forward due to the Premier League
Although initially, the White Club did not plan to sign him immediately, the growing interest from several Premier League clubs in Baena could accelerate Madrid's plans. Faced with the possibility of another European team taking the lead, Real Madrid would be seriously considering making an offer for the player next summer.
One aspect that could ease his arrival at the Bernabéu is his release clause, set at 60 million euros. This amount, affordable for a club of Madrid's stature, becomes an additional attraction in the current market context. However, it remains to be seen if the club ultimately decides to take the step and snatch Baena from Villarreal, in what could be one of the most interesting moves in the upcoming transfer market.
