Newly-promoted Premier League side Fulham are interested in signing Real Betis full-back Alex Moreno.
According to Spanish publications AS, Fulham are interested in signing Real Betis left-back Alex Moreno in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Fulham finished atop the EFL Championship table to return to the English top flight and are now eager to strengthen ahead of the new season to extend their stay in the league. Real Betis’ Moreno has emerged as a potential signing, and they are preparing a summer offer for the Spaniard.
Fulham are ready to spend upwards of €15 million for the 28-year-old left-back and have also established contacts with the player’s entourage. Moreno still has three years left on his contract with Real Betis and reportedly has a release clause worth €40 million in his contract.
The left-back joined Betis from Rayo Vallecano in the 2019 summer window for just €7 million and has grown into an important player at the club. He has since made 103 appearances for Los Verdiblancos, scoring six goals and assisting 11 times.
Moreno was especially impressive this season, making 30 league appearances as Betis finished fifth in La Liga. Moreno also scored five goals and provided four assists in the Spanish top-flight, which has made him a sought-after player in the transfer market. Barcelona are said to be interested in the Spanish left-back as well with some other Premier League clubs tracking his situation as well.
Fulham have Joe Bryan and Antonee Robinson as their options at left-back but are seeking an upgrade as they wish to compete strongly on their return to the Premier League. It has led to them being interested in Alex Moreno. The 28-year-old is aware that he could get an improved contract if he chooses to move on from Real Betis this summer and could thus push for an exit.
The two clubs reportedly share a good rapport, having discussed a possible move for William Carvalho last season, which didn’t materialise. Carvalho, who has just a year left on his Betis contract, is another player Fulham are interested in with Marco Silva a big admirer. It will be interesting to see whether Fulham can close the deal for either of the two Real Betis stars this summer.
