Unai Emery Confirms Alex Moreno’s Imminent Villa Exit

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has confirmed that left-back Alex Moreno is on the verge of leaving the club, potentially this summer.

Alex Moreno was notably absent from Aston Villa’s squad in their recent Saturday Night Football victory against West Ham in their first game in the 2024/2025 Premier League.

Unai Emery explained the decision, stating, “When we signed Maatsen, we were speaking with different players.

One of them [Moreno or Lucas Digne] we could keep to be strong in this position, and Moreno is the player close to leaving.”

Aston Villa started the match with Lucas Digne at left-back and introduced new signing Ian Maatsen in the second half of the game.

Unai Emery is confident that the team will remain strong in the left-back position, despite Moreno’s imminent departure. Alex Moreno has reportedly attracted a number of teams in the Premier League and might join one soon.
