Despite the constant rumors pointing to Atlético de Madrid as one of the main suitors for Álex Baena, Villarreal insists that they have not received any formal proposals for the talented midfield player from Almería. This was confirmed by Fernando Roig Negueroles, CEO of the Castellón-based club, who has addressed the reports placing the player in the orbit of the red and white team.
Baena, 23, has been one of the standout names in the market in recent weeks. Various sources position him as a priority for Atlético for the season, with talks reportedly occurring with the player's representatives and between the clubs. However, according to MundoDeportivo, there has been no real progress and no concrete offers have been made so far.

Roig Negueroles recalled that last winter there was an opportunity for Baena to move to Saudi Arabia, which ultimately did not materialize. While acknowledging interest from other teams, he insists that the club has not engaged in any negotiations, not even with the Madrid team.
“One matchday remains, and then the movements will start,” noted the executive, suggesting that decisions will be made calmly. Nevertheless, Villarreal will only consider a possible departure if it benefits both the player and the club.
