Álex Baena will no longer wear the colors of Villarreal to join Atlético de Madrid at the end of the current season. The talented Andalusian midfielder, who has been one of the great sensations of the Yellow Submarine in recent times, would already have everything agreed for his transfer to the team led by Diego Pablo Simeone. The deal, agreed upon by both clubs, will be closed for a sum around 55 million euros.

Baena, close to joining Atlético de Madrid

The young Spanish international has shown sustained growth in recent seasons, establishing himself as a decisive player in the Yellow Submarine's scheme. His ability to link up, break lines, and assist has attracted interest from several clubs, not only in Spain but also outside of Europe. There was a very strong financial offer from Saudi Arabia to secure his services, but the player's desire was always to remain in a competitive league.

Simeone has insisted on his signing, especially valuing his tactical intelligence, energy on the field, and offensive versatility. The Argentine coach believes that Baena can bring a quality upgrade to the Atletico midfield, particularly in terms of creativity and final pass, a profile that Atletico has been needing for some time. Furthermore, his youth and experience in LaLiga make him a present and future investment.

Villarreal, on the other hand, loses one of its most recognizable icons, although the amount received from the transfer will allow them to strengthen several key positions. Baena's transfer will mark one of the most notable movements in the summer transfer market in Spanish football, and everything indicates that he will be presented at the Metropolitano shortly after the season officially ends.
