Atletico had previously made an offer for Baena in January, but Villarreal rejected it. However, the situation has changed, and Villarreal is now willing to sell Baena this summer.
According to reports, Atletico and Villarreal have agreed on the outline of a deal worth €55 million. This development comes after Baena also attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League over the past few months.
Despite the interest from abroad, Baena prefers to stay in Spain and continue his career with a new club.
