Álex Baena has already made an important decision in his career. The 23-year-old footballer will stop wearing the Villarreal CF shirt to join Atlético de Madrid. The agreement between both clubs is already closed, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes official on the part of the red and whites, something that could happen in the coming days.

This is the price that Atlético de Madrid has paid for Álex Baena.

The transfer has been completed for a figure close to 45 million euros fixed, plus another 5 million in variables depending on objectives. Atlético is thus ahead of other teams that were also interested in the player, securing an important reinforcement for the next season.

Baena has been one of the most prominent players at Villarreal in recent times. With his vision of the game, energy in midfield, and ability to reach the area, he has earned a place among the elite of Spanish football. This past season, he once again showed that he is a different player, with goals, talent, and personality.

At Atlético, Simeone will have a profile that is not abundant in his squad. Baena can play as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, or even drop to the wing if the scheme requires it. His versatility gives him many options to earn a spot in the starting eleven, especially in a squad that needs to renew energy and creativity.

For Villarreal, Baena's departure is a tough blow. He was one of the key pieces of the team and a cornerstone of the project. Nevertheless, the club understands that his growth pushed him to take a step further, and the offer was hard to refuse.

With this move, Baena faces a new challenge in his career, with the ambition to fight for titles and take a leap in his development as a player. Atlético is betting big on him, and now it will be the field that determines if the decision was the right one.
