Unai Emery(52) Gives Approval for Aston Villa’s Acquisition of Barcelona Target – Available at Discounted Rate
Villa secures Emery’s nod for swooping in on coveted Barcelona prospect, poised to seal a bargain deal
In the buzzing world of football, Villarreal’s midfield maestro, Alex Baena, stole the spotlight with a dazzling trio of assists against Rayo Vallecano. However, his candid desire to don the colors of Barcelona has ignited fervor in the mediasphere. Baena, 22, currently leads La Liga in assists with a remarkable tally of 12, showcasing his undeniable talent on the pitch. Even amidst Villarreal’s challenging season, Baena has shone brightly, amassing an impressive 21 goal contributions across all competitions. With a second call-up to the Spanish national team under his belt, Baena’s star is undeniably on the rise.
Both Unai Emery and Xavi Hernandez, managers with a shared affinity for the versatile playmaker, have expressed their admiration for Baena’s skills. Despite Villarreal President Fernando Roig confirming no formal approaches for Baena, rumors swirl of a potential move, with Emery eyeing a transfer coup. Matteo Moretto’s insights suggest that Baena could be available for a fraction of his €60m release clause, possibly between €30-40m, making him an attractive prospect for clubs in the market.
Should the deal materialize, it could leave Barcelona fans torn, as their club’s financial constraints hinder their ability to secure La Liga’s brightest prospect. Nevertheless, Baena’s allure remains undeniable, and it’s no wonder Emery is eager to secure his services.
