Premier League
Aston Villa has made the decision to facilitate the departure of Álex Moreno this summer and has set a transfer fee close to five million euros. The left-back, without space in Unai Emery's plans, has sparked the interest of Leeds United, who are moving decisively to close his signing after returning to the Premier League.
Moreno, 32 years old, has not been able to establish himself since his arrival at the Birmingham team in early 2023 from Real Betis. Despite expectations surrounding his signing, the passage of time and the arrival of other players like Ian Maatsen and the continuity of Lucas Digne ended up relegating him to a secondary role. The loan to Nottingham Forest last season also did not change his luck: he barely made 19 appearances, and his influence was limited.
Leeds United wants to sign Álex Moreno
Now, with only one year left on his contract, Villa believes it is the right time to make a profit before letting him go for free in 2025. Meanwhile, at Elland Road, they value his profile as a solid option to strengthen the left side, especially after Junior Firpo's departure. Coach Daniel Farke believes that his experience in the league could be key to consolidating the team in the elite after the promotion.
Although the player does not rule out returning to Spain, Leeds offers him continuity in the Premier League and an ambitious project. However, it has been acknowledged from the player's circle that LaLiga clubs are also monitoring his situation. The outcome will depend on who acts more quickly, but the truth is that Álex Moreno is getting closer to a change of scenery.
