The transfer of 22-year-old Spanish midfielder Manuel Ángel Morán to Fulham is nearing finalization after discussions accelerated in recent hours. The player is expected to leave Real Madrid II permanently, though the Spanish club would keep a portion of his rights. Cádiz and Almería have also shown interest, but Fulham now appears to be the leading club in securing the player. The most recent discussions are aimed at finalizing the agreement.

The move is reportedly influenced by Álvaro Arbeloa. Arbeloa managed Manuel Ángel at Castilla and gave the player his first-team debut last season. The midfielder is expected to continue his career in England and is not expected to be loaned out. His contract with Real Madrid is due to expire on 30/06/2027. He has made 13 appearances and scored 2 goals for the Spain U19 team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is estimated to be €5.00m.
