Álex Baena, one of the young promises of Villarreal, has burst onto the scene in LaLiga, standing out as one of the great figures of the Spanish championship. His impact at the Yellow Submarine has not gone unnoticed, attracting the attention of European giants such as Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City. Cholo Simeone sees the player as a key piece to strengthen the red and white midfield, but City's coach, Pep Guardiola, has also set his sights on him, considering his signing a priority to bring more talent to his team.
Pep Guardiola wants to leave Atlético without Álex Baena
The midfielder has demonstrated his quality through goals, assists, and an ability to read the game that sets him apart from the rest. At just 23 years old, Baena has consolidated his role at Villarreal, becoming an indispensable figure in Marcelino's team. His ability to create opportunities and his versatility in attack have earned him the admiration of some of the best coaches in the world, and now his future could be far from the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Atlético de Madrid, in search of young talent to revitalize its squad, is willing to compete for his signing. However, Guardiola does not usually let slip away players he is interested in, and Baena fits perfectly into the offensive scheme of the Manchester team. With a potential transfer fee of around 60 million euros, Villarreal will have to carefully weigh the offers for their gem, knowing that the interest in him will only grow in the coming months.
Faced with the possibility of a move to international football, Álex Baena is in the spotlight. Both in the Premier League and LaLiga, his next steps will be decisive for his career and for the clubs vying to have his talent.
