Alex Moreno is reportedly set to depart Aston Villa during the summer transfer window, as Ian Maatsen is expected to be promoted to the first-choice position. Leeds United is said to be one of the clubs monitoring the situation, as Junior Firpo is departing from Daniel Farke’s team despite his significant contribution to the club’s automatic promotion to the Premier League. Moreno is reportedly available for less than half of the £12 million that Villa paid to Real Betis in 2023, with an asking price of £5 million. After spending the 2024/25 season on loan at Nottingham Forest from Villa, Moreno is certain to leave Villa Park permanently this summer. It is understood that Forest will not convert the loan into a permanent transfer. Currently, Moreno is believed to prefer a return to LaLiga, with Spanish clubs being notified of his availability.
