According to reports from the British media Football Transfers, Arsenal has a strong interest in the 23-year-old Baena and they want to sign the 243-year-old left winger. The contract between Baena and Villarreal comes with a release bonus option, with the release bonus amounting to 60 million euros.
Arsenal interested in potential winger Baena
Arsenal believe that Baena’s technical characteristics are very consistent with the team. They once sent scouts to watch Spain’s 2-1 away game against Denmark. At that time, Baena came off the field due to ankle problems. According to the examination results after the game, Baena’s injury was not serious. Baena’s overall performance in the past two seasons has been outstanding, and he is therefore on Arsenal’s watch list.
Baena’s contract release clause is 60 million euros, which is less than Nico Williams’ 58 million euros, but the latter is not sure whether he is willing to leave Athletic Bilbao. From the information obtained, Baena’s treatment is inferior to that of Nico Williams. Arsenal wants to sign a winger position, and between the two players, Baena seems to make the deal easier. However, Arsenal need to take the lead in convincing Baena before they can proceed to the next step. But as for which player to sign, Arsenal need to weigh it carefully.
Baena is currently playing for Villarreal. He has a total of 45 appearances in the 2023-2024 season, during which he contributed 5 goals and 18 assists. In the 2024-2025 season, he played 12 times and contributed 5 assists.
