Wow! World champion could move to Newcastle or Aston Villa
Álex Baena's flying start to the season has already put Premier League clubs on alert.
Details: According to CaughtOffside, Newcastle and Aston Villa are among the clubs closely monitoring Atlético Madrid winger Álex Baena. The Spain international has attracted interest from several major European sides after an impressive start to the new campaign.
Baena has made a spectacular start to the season, scoring three goals in his opening three appearances for Atlético. His performances have strengthened interest from England, with Newcastle and Aston Villa keeping a close eye on his situation.
However, Atlético Madrid have no intention of parting ways with the winger. The Spanish club consider Baena an important player and are currently unwilling to sanction his departure despite growing interest from abroad.
