Atletico Madrid to Discuss Summer Target
Atletico Madrid Pursuing Alex Baena in Summer Transfer Window
Atletico Madrid is gearing up for a busy summer as they set their sights on strengthening their squad to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid. A key target for them is Alex Baena, a 23-year-old midfielder who has been making waves in La Liga with impressive stats of 11 goals and 26 assists in recent seasons.
The High Interest in Alex Baena
It is no secret that Atletico Madrid is keen on securing the services of Alex Baena this summer. His stellar performances have caught the attention of top clubs, with Atleti placing him at the top of their wishlist alongside Tottenham Hotspur’s Cristian Romero.
Villarreal, Baena’s current club, is willing to negotiate a deal for the midfielder but on their own terms. Despite recent denials of an agreement between the clubs, Atletico Madrid is determined to finalize a deal in the near future.
Upcoming Talks Between Atletico Madrid and Villarreal
Relevo has reported that Atletico Madrid has arranged a meeting with Villarreal to discuss the potential transfer of Alex Baena. While no discussions have taken place yet, both clubs are set to engage in talks in the coming weeks.
Atleti envisions Baena as the ideal fit for the left midfield position in Diego Simeone’s tactical setup. Although Baena has a €60m release clause, there have been indications that Villarreal may consider a lower asking price.
If Atletico Madrid succeeds in securing Baena’s signature, it would serve as a strong statement of intent for the upcoming seasons. However, competition for the midfielder is fierce, with interest also coming from Premier League clubs such as Aston Villa and Manchester United.
