Villarreal midfielder Alex Baena, 23, is a summer target for Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid are planning to sign 23-year-old midfielder Alex Baena this summer, with the La Liga giants having held preliminary talks with the player’s club Villarreal, Ufabet reported on Friday.

Baena has been one of the most impressive players in La Liga over the past 18 months and this season alone, the 23-year-old midfielder has four goals and five assists in 16 games for Villarreal. He is under contract until the summer of 2028 and has a €60m release clause, but the Yellow Submarine are reportedly willing to let him leave for less than that.
Although Atletico Madrid do not plan to spend เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง the huge sums of money they did last summer, the Rojiblancos are still targeting Baena, with preliminary talks already underway with Villarreal, with the 23-year-old also attracting interest from more financially-savvy Premier League clubs.
Baena has been one of La Liga’s best players over the last 18 months. So it is natural that interest in his services has grown significantly in recent times. Atleti will be nervous about this, especially as they would not be able to match the money on offer from the Premier League. And this will be a reason why they have made their move now.
If Atletico Madrid can wrap up a deal for Baena during the summer. It would be a serious piece of business. For now, the 23-year-old midfielder will be focused on the second half of the season with Villarreal.
