Girona continues to take steps forward in the attempt to create a squad that renews the enthusiasm of the fans. This Thursday afternoon the incorporation of Álex Baena has been made official. The 20-year-old Andalusian winger arrives from Villarreal and he does so on loan until the end of the season. In this way, Michel already has the extreme that he demanded, with self-confidence and verticality, to reinforce his offensive plot.
Baena has experience in the First Division and in the Europa League with Villarreal. There is hope to see him dressed in rojiblanco and that is because the sports director, Quique Cárcel, had been following him closely for a long time. It is an unbalancing extreme and “among his virtues stands out the ability in one-on-one and his powerful shot.” He was formed in the lower categories of Villarreal and managed to reach the first team, with which he played six games in the First team last season. In addition, he managed to play the Europa League, in which he scored two goals and one assist.
