A) Yes, Alex Moreno I could travel even today until Birmingham to pass the medical tests if everything is signed between clubs before midnight. Fabricius Roman informs that the agreement has been closed in 14 million euros and that in reality is the only thing that dances today in the already sealed operation.
An unattainable contract for Betis
As ESTADIO Deportivo has learned, Aston Villa agreed to pay for Álex Moreno 15 million in a first payment, plus two in variables, one of which is relatively easy to comply with. An advance that definitely convinced the Heliopolitans, eager to balance their accounts, despite the fact that Rayo Vallecano, Villafranca, Mallorca, Llagostera or Elche will claim a pinch of the operation in terms of training rights.
The red-fringed kept a 20% royalties of the left-handed, although other sources indicate that they would only pocket that percentage of the surplus value generated from what it cost three and a half years ago: seven million fixed and one more in bonus. Now yes, it seems that Álex Moreno will put an end to his stage in the Real Betis and that Unai Emery will have the desired winger in his new adventure in the Aston Villawith whom he will commit for four and a half seasons, until June 30, 2027 and where he will receive a salary three times higher than in Heliopolis at 29 years of age.
