Álex Baena has become the epicenter of summer market movements. His brilliant performance at Villarreal has not gone unnoticed by Atlético de Madrid, which has identified him as a top priority reinforcement for their offensive line. The red and white team has been working on the operation for weeks and has already made an initial formal attempt to acquire the player from Almería, but it has not been enough to convince the board of the Castellon club.

Atlético de Madrid will keep trying

The initial offer, valued at 55 million euros, was considered insufficient by Villarreal's decision-makers, who believe that Baena still has room for appreciation and that his market value far exceeds what the Madrid team proposed. However, sources close to the player acknowledge that a change of scenery could be positive and even more so if it involves one of Spain's most powerful teams that aims for national and international titles.

Atlético is not backing out of the bid. Simeone has expressly requested his incorporation, appreciating not only his creative talent but also his work ethic, which fits the predominant style of play at the Metropolitano. The club is now working on a second offer that could include variables to bring the agreement closer to Villarreal's demands, as the yellow submarine is currently playing its cards cautiously.

From the player's circle, no possibility has been ruled out, although close sources suggest that Baena would welcome the opportunity to take a competitive leap in his career. The discussions are ongoing, and the feeling is that Atlético is willing to make an extra financial effort to see the Andalusian attacking midfielder in red and white. The game is on, and it seems like there will be more chapters in the coming weeks.
