Barcelona are interested in Villarreal winger Alex Baena, according to SPORT. The Spanish forward has been quite impressive with the Yellow Submarine this season, registering four goals and five assists from 17 games.
His efforts have earned him admirers at multiple clubs across the continent. The Catalans also have him on their radar as they look to sign a new winger this year.
The LaLiga giants were hot on the heels of Nico Williams last summer but failed to get a deal across the line. While Barcelona remain interested in the 22-year-old, prising him away from Athletic Bilbao won't be easy.
There's tremendous competition for Williams' services ahead of the summer, prompting the Catalans to prepare a plan B. Baena has been identified as an option for the job.
