Álex Baena has been one of the standout names in the winter transfer market. The Villarreal midfielder received a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia that nearly disrupted the plans of the yellow submarine team. Nevertheless, the player remained committed to the club and turned down a deal that was economically hard to match.

The Huge Offer from Saudi Arabia

The Arab club was willing to pay the €60 million corresponding to the player's release clause, in addition to offering him a contract worth around €18 million per season. Despite the enormity of the proposal, Baena prioritized the agreement he had with Villarreal: not to leave mid-season to avoid putting the team in a difficult situation.

The Spaniard's decision bolsters his image as a professional true to his values, an increasingly rare trait in today's football landscape. However, sources close to him claim this agreement includes a verbal clause where Villarreal will facilitate his exit next summer, a time when major European clubs are expected to compete for his services.

With undeniable talent and numerous suitors on the horizon, Baena could be a key player in one of the major moves during the upcoming summer transfer window. His ability to lead the midfield and his attacking versatility make him a sought-after profile by top-tier teams.
