Villarreal sets the selling price of Álex Baena: A bargain

Villarreal seems ready to part ways with Álex Baena at the end of the season, as long as some club is willing to pay 45 million euros for the talented attacking midfielder. Although his release clause stands at 60 million and his contract runs until 2028, the Yellow Submarine would negotiate below that figure, aware of the growing interest the player has sparked among various European teams.

Baena, 23, has been a standout performer in La Liga over the past year and a half, attracting the attention of clubs like Atlético Madrid, who view him as a priority for summer squad reinforcement. However, the red-and-whites could face tough competition as Premier League sides such as Aston Villa and Newcastle United have also been linked with the player. Both have the financial capability to meet Villarreal's demands, potentially complicating Atlético's aspirations.

Accustomed to managing the departures of its top talents like Filip Jorgensen, Pau Torres, and Nicolas Jackson in recent years, Villarreal seems to be following this trend by considering transferring Baena. Nevertheless, the attacking midfielder still plays a crucial role for the remainder of the season, and the club trusts he will be essential in their sporting goals before contemplating his permanent exit.

Baena's combination of youth, technical quality, and European competition experience makes him an attractive target for any club, and his future is bound to be a hot topic in the upcoming transfer market.
