God Creates Them and Come Together, Barça Close to Transfer Madrid's Major Enemy

Barça, as always, is about to transfer a Madrid rival for its team, but everything could be a bit more complicated

It's logical to think that Real Madrid has a considerable number of fans around the world for being the best team in history. However, it's also evident that, being the most famous and beloved team on the planet also has many detractors. It seems curious that among them they find and gather, as in the most recent case of Fútbol Club Barcelona.

It's known that the Catalan team is Madrid's main rival and is now about to transfer a player who is an enemy of the Meringues. We're referring to Villarreal's player Álex Baena, who had a very strong issue with Federico Valverde. A transfer that is definitely made for the Catalan team, which has absolute repulsion for Real Madrid.

With this, they could strengthen with one of the most promising players, at least in the Spanish competition, based on his statistics. Additionally, with the bonus that he also has antagonism toward Real Madrid, it seems like a perfect transfer for them.

Made to perfection

This player has shown great qualities in the past, despite showing lesser qualities against Real Madrid. One of these is the ability to get into trouble with players from the white team, recently with Federico Valverde.

In the current season, he has more than 1300 minutes played in 17 matches, with 9 goal contributions in two competitions. While these aren't the most spectacular numbers, they are still outstanding, and that's why the Catalan team's interest.

However, the biggest problem seems to be his market value, as with a binding contract until 2028, his value is 50 million euros. A figure that could increase considerably, as he is an essential piece for the yellow submarine and won't be easy for the culés.

They have it very complicated

Seeing the situation that recently arose with Dani Olmo, it seems very complicated for the culés to make an addition of this category.  Therefore, they will have to pledge their assets again to try to sign this player, who still needs to prove himself.
