The Midlands club has already turned down a transfer bid of £32 million for the Colombian striker in a cash-plus-player deal, which would have seen 18-year-old Irons midfielder Lewis Orford move the other way, along with a significant sell-on clause.
The article does not specify whether Orford will be included in the new proposal; however, following yesterday’s fan reaction to the move, it seems highly unlikely.
The summer transfer window has been turbulent for both Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers. With just over a month remaining for clubs to do business, what is happening in the Premier League rumour mill today?
A Villa player is thought to be ‘pushing’ for a transfer away from the club due to a new arrival at Villa Park. With several players who can field his natural position, he could depart the the club for regular first team football.
Meanwhile, Wolves have sent a clear indication to Arsenal regarding the availability of one of their players. The player in question has been omitted from their recent kit launch promos.
Alex Moreno ‘pushing’ for Aston Villa exit
Aston Villa’s Alex Moreno could leave the club in the coming weeks. With the arrival of Ian Maatsen and the existing presence of former France international Lucas Digne, Moreno risks being lost in the shuffle if he stays due to the surplus of left-backs in Villa’s squad.
This is according to a report from Football Insider. Previously, Digne looked more likely to leave the club – now, however, the roles have been reversed. No clubs are linked with the Spaniard as things stand, but it looks increasingly likely that he will depart Villa Park – especially with his services being touted.
Villa do not want to sell the player – they will try to ‘convince’ him to remain at the club, despite their overabundance of senior team players in his position. He is thought to be ‘keen’ on the idea of returning to La Liga. Previously, Moreno has played for teams such as Mallorca, Real Betis and Rayo Vallecano. He has been at Villa since 2023, when he signed for an undisclosed fee.
