Aston Villa’s Alex Moreno has taken to social media to signal his readiness for a new challenge, sparking further speculation about his future at the club. The 32-year-old left-back spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, making 19 appearances for the East Midlands club, but ultimately decided against a permanent move.
According to reports, Moreno has been open to a move to Leeds United this summer due to limited opportunities at Aston Villa, where he faces stiff competition from Lucas Digne and Ian Maatsen. Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has been prioritizing defensive reinforcements, recently signing centre-back Jaka Bijol from Udinese on a five-year deal.
Football Insider revealed on June 18 that Leeds had made contact with Aston Villa over a potential move for Moreno. The player’s recent social media post, which read “time for training,” suggests he is preparing for a new challenge, fueling rumors of a possible exit from Villa Park.
Moreno’s future at Aston Villa appears uncertain, with Sunderland and Burnley also reportedly linked to the player. Additionally, there are rumors of interest from clubs in La Liga, leaving Moreno’s options open as the summer transfer window continues to unfold.
As the speculation surrounding Moreno’s future intensifies, fans and pundits alike will be watching closely for any developments in the coming weeks. Will Moreno remain at Aston Villa or pursue a new opportunity elsewhere? Only time will tell.
