Álex Baena is getting closer to wearing the Atlético de Madrid shirt. The midfielder from Villarreal is shaping up to be one of the star movements for the red and white team ahead of the upcoming season. The interest from the Madrid club is not new, but in recent weeks, it has intensified to the point where an agreement seems imminent. Atletico's sports management sees the Spanish international as a player with the ideal profile to fit into Diego Simeone's tactical proposal.

Álex Baena, Atletico Madrid's Target

At just 23 years old, Baena has stood out in LaLiga for his ability to generate offensive play from the second line, his great vision, and his instinct to attack the opponent's area. This season at Villarreal, he has taken a step forward, becoming a key piece in the yellow team's scheme. His performances have not only caught the attention of the "colchonero" team, but have also shown that he is ready to take on greater challenges.

Atletico's coaching staff particularly values his versatility in midfield, his defensive work rate, and his competitive commitment. These qualities make him a safe bet for Simeone's high-intensity and physical style. Furthermore, his youth ensures significant room for improvement, which the club deems crucial to maintain a competitive squad in the medium term.

Both the player and his inner circle view the move to one of the country's strongest clubs favorably. Negotiations are progressing well, and barring any setbacks, the official announcement could come in a matter of weeks. Baena is prepared to take the definitive leap, and the Metropolitano appears to be the ideal stage for his next big adventure.
