Barcelona is closely monitoring the Villarreal star with a release clause of 60 million euros

Barcelona is closely monitoring the situation of Álex Baena, Villarreal’s talented winger, according to a recent report from SPORT.

Baena has quickly become one of the most interesting young players in Spanish football and his performances have not gone unnoticed, with numerous top clubs following him closely.

Interestingly, Villarreal are likely to struggle to retain him long-term due to growing interest from abroad.

Barcelona follows the trail

Barcelona, ​​in particular, are interested in Baena, highly regarded for his ability and potential. However, the only thing currently preventing Barcelona from making a strong move for the winger is its financial situation.

Despite this, Barcelona remain very interested in Baena, knowing that he would prefer to stay in Spain if he leaves Villarreal and their search is motivated by the fact that they want to sign a winger for next season.

Barcelona being one of the clubs on his radar would be a natural choice for the young player, who has spoken of his admiration for the Catalan club in the past.

Financial obstacles

Baena’s contract with Villarreal ends in June 2028 and his termination clause is set at 60 million euros. Despite these terms, Barcelona has not lost interest and continues to follow its evolution.

It should be noted that the full-back has very good memories of his time in Catalonia, since he previously played for Girona, where he had a positive experience.

His stay there left him with a lasting connection with the region and he continues to value the opportunity he had to play for the red and white team.

In short, while Barcelona face challenges due to their financial situation, they remain committed to pursuing Baena if circumstances allow.

His impressive potential and connection to Spain make him an ideal candidate for Barcelona’s future plans, and the club will likely closely monitor any developments regarding his situation.
