Alex Moreno could reportedly return to Real Betis.
That’s according to a recent report from Spanish outlet Todo Fichajes, who claim the full-back, who joined Aston Villa last summer, is a candidate to return to his former side.
Despite starting life in the Midlands well, Moreno, 30, has been forced to sit on the sidelines for an extended period after a hamstring injury in the summer halted his progress.
However, now back to full fitness, the 30-year-old, who was introduced as a late substitute during the Villains’ 1-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday, is looking to revive his career.
Witnessing Lucas Digne become Emery’s first-choice left-back, Moreno may find it difficult to reclaim his once-nailed-on starting place though.
And tipped to return to Real Betis, despite leaving less than 12 months ago, Villa’s number 15, who is valued at just under £15 million (TM), could find his next challenge is a familiar one.
During his first year at Villa Park, Moreno, who has two-and-a-half-years left on his deal, has scored one goal and registered three assists in 23 games in all competitions.
