🎥 On the verge of signing: Alex Baena undergoes medical with Atleti | OneFootball

Álex Baena passed his medical examination with Atlético de Madrid this Wednesday, a step prior to closing his signing from Villarreal.

The red and white club and the player already have everything agreed upon and only the official signing of the contract is missing, which could happen in the next few hours.

The 22-year-old Andalusian midfielder arrives at the Metropolitano after a great season with Villarreal, where he consolidated himself as one of the best assistants in LaLiga.

With the arrival of Baena, Simeone's team gains creativity, overflow, and goal from the second line. The signing is part of the plan to rejuvenate the center of the field for the 2025-26 season.
