Atletico Madrid won't be spending as big in 2025 as they did last summer, but they are still eyeing a big move at the end of this season for Alex Baena.
According to Ruben Uria (via ED), Baena is Atleti's top transfer target for the 2025 summer transfer window, and club-to-club talks have already taken place with Villarreal as they look to steal a march on the rest of the league.
Baena has been one of La Liga's best players over the past 18 months, so it stands to reason that interest in his services has increased significantly in recent times. Atleti will be nervous about this, especially as they cannot match the Premier League's cash offer, and this will be one reason why they have made this move now.
If Atlético Madrid can complete a deal for Baena this summer, it would be serious business. For the time being, the 23-year-old midfielder will concentrate on the second half of the season at Villarreal.
