UEFA Europa League
Álex Moreno is clear that he wants to wear the green and white jersey again. Since his departure in January 2023 to Aston Villa, the left-back has never hidden his affection for Real Betis, where he experienced some of the best moments of his career. The love of the fans and the good performance shown at the Benito Villamarín have left a mark on both the player and the club, and there have been several public gestures from the Catalan towards the Andalusian team.
After a loan spell this season at Nottingham Forest, where he had a discreet participation but helped secure qualification for the Conference League, Moreno has officially bid farewell to the English side. Forest has not exercised the purchase option, and now the defender must return to Birmingham, albeit without a place in Unai Emery's plans.
The condition Betis sets for his return
With one year remaining on his contract at Villa Park, everything points to a definitive departure this summer. In this context, Betis could seize the opportunity to try for his return, but there is a key factor: the salary. As reported by 'EstadioDeportivo', Álex Moreno would need to significantly reduce his earnings to facilitate the operation, something he would be willing to do if Betis makes a move.
The Betis sports management is looking for reinforcements for both full-back positions, and although no final decision has been made, Manuel Pellegrini has always shown a preference for the player from Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. If all pieces fall into place, the reunion could be closer than ever.
