THE BAENA CLAUSE, THE BIG PROBLEM
Álex Baena will not be Barça's priority this summer
Although Álex Baena has been linked with FC Barcelona, as of today he is not a viable signing for the Catalans due to the termination clause he has in his contract with Villarreal
With the end of season just around the corner, the FC Barcelona has begun to schedule his movements in the next market of signings. Still there is not security that they are in capacity to reinforce his staff, because it will depend on the solutions that find with the Fair Play financial, but the sportive direction is determining which are the true needs that will have the staff of Xavi Hernández of face to the 2024/2025.
One of the names that has been linked with the Barcelona picture is the one of Álex Baena, of the Villarreal. The own footballer confessed does some weeks that "to who would not like him go to the Barça? Play in the Barcelona is one of the greater dreams. It is of the best clubs of the world. To any player of the world would like him play in the Barcelona. But I am in the club of my life and also am happy to be here. It has not arrived us at all neither to me neither to my surroundings. We are centred in finish well the season".
His statements desataron the rumours on a possible incorporation during this summer, but to day of today is not a possibility 'real' for the Barça.

The current situation of the Barça with Álex Baena
The name of the player of 22 years also was on the table, but the Barcelona entity knows very well that it is a movement that brushes the impossible for this market of signings. To Xavi Hernández likes him a lot his profile and understands that it can fit perfectly in his approach, but from Sportive World have informed that it will not be a priority. At least with the current stage of the picture blaugrana.
The main problem with Baena is the clause of rescission that has in his agreement with the Villarreal, that rises to the 60 million euros, as he same confirmed: "My clause? I think that this it is necessary to speak it with Fernando Roig, but that it will be necessary to pay the 60 million euros if they want that it go me", said to Sportive Carousel. The Barça is not in conditions to credit that mount, because there will be other needs this summer.
