Mundo Deportivo reports on Àlex Moreno's transfer to Girona from Aston Villa. Àlex Moreno, a 31-year-old left-back, has officially joined Girona from Aston Villa on a free transfer. He signed a contract until 2027. The transfer was made to strengthen the position following Miguel Gutiérrez's departure to Napoli. Moreno returns to LaLiga after his stint in England with Aston Villa and a loan at Nottingham Forest. He reunites with coach Míchel Sánchez, whom he worked with at Rayo Vallecano. Moreno is expected to debut against Villarreal this weekend.

Girona is making significant progress in securing the services of Álex Moreno to bolster the left-back position following Miguel Gutiérrez's move to Napoli. Ivan Quirós reported that the Catalan club has already reached an agreement with Aston Villa regarding the percentage of the contract they will cover, which is approximately 2 million euros. The decision still needs to be made with the player on whether his stay will be for one season, either on loan or as a free agent, or if the contract will be extended to two years. At 32, Álex Moreno views Girona as an appealing option, both for the sporting environment and the trust of coach Míchel, who is familiar with him from their previous collaboration at Rayo Vallecano. The salary cap is also advantageous for the deal, as Girona has the financial capacity to bring in a left-back following Miguel's departure, which netted the club 18 million euros, with 9 million going to the Catalans. Álex Moreno fits the desired profile with his experience, versatility, and readiness to adapt quickly to La Liga, where he previously excelled at Betis before his transfer to England. Girona is well on its way to completing the deal and aims to finalize it shortly.
