Club president Angel Haro has spoken about Alex Moreno's decision to remain at Real Betis, amid interest from Nottingham Forest this summer.
The left-back was on the Reds’ radar as they put together a squad ready for the challenge of the Premier League, with suggestions a medical was set to be scheduled. But early last month, he publicly spoke about rejecting an offer and opting to stay in Spain.
Spanish media outlet Estadio Deportivo report Moreno “had a foot and a half in Nottingham Forest, but decided to stay”. And an interview with Haro details how Betis would have gained only around 1m euros in their salary limit, which would have made it difficult to find a replacement of equal quality to Moreno.
