Baena arrives at the Wanda Metropolitano as one of the standout attacking midfielders in La Liga

Atlético Madrid have confirmed the signing of Spanish international Alejandro Baena from Villarreal in a deal worth €50 million. The creative midfielder has signed a five-year contract and is expected to play a key role in Diego Simeone’s plans for the 2025/26 season.

Baena, 23, arrives at the Wanda Metropolitano as one of the standout attacking midfielders in La Liga. Last season, he ranked among the league’s top three assist providers, recording an impressive 10 assists — underlining his vision and creative influence in the final third.

The move represents a major statement from Atlético, who are looking to bounce back from a disappointing showing at the FIFA Club World Cup, where they failed to advance past the group stage. Simeone's side will be hoping Baena adds the spark they sorely lacked in midfield.

Known for his technical skill, sharp passing, and intelligent movement between the lines, Baena is seen as a long-term solution to Atlético’s midfield creativity — a quality the club has been searching for in recent seasons.
