Girona have moved to secure a defender from Premier League side Aston Villa, with left-back \u00c1lex Moreno the player linked to the transfer. Moreno remains on the books at Aston Villa but has been widely expected to return to Spain after a season in which he spent time on loan at Nottingham Forest and largely struggled for playing time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 32-year-old brings a wealth of La Liga experience, having previously played for Mallorca, Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis. Reports over the last 24 hours suggested the move was all but complete, and those rumours were given firm weight by a market report citing journalistic sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, citing Nil Sol\u00e0, \u2018\u00c1lex Moreno has completed his medical and signs two year deal at Girona .\u2019 That sentence frames the current situation: a medical has been completed and the paperwork appears to be in place for a return to La Liga on a multi-year contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Moreno, the transfer would represent a chance to re-establish himself in a league where he has spent significant portions of his career. For Girona, the capture of an experienced left-back familiar with Spanish football would add depth to their defensive ranks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
