Real Betis fans have given their reaction to the news that Nottingham Forest transfer target Alex Moreno will be staying at the club beyond the summer.
Forest had targeted the left-back since the start of the summer and looked to be closing in on a transfer for the 29-year-old. It was reported that a medical had been scheduled for this week after the two clubs agreed an £9 million fee for the player.
However, in an update from the player himself on social media, he revealed that he’s opted to turn down a move to the City Ground, instead staying with Real Betis. “It's certain that the club and myself received a proposal from another club,” he wrote .

“I am grateful for the important offer I have received but after evaluating it, both Real Betis and I decided to continue walking together.”
Moreno has been with Betis since joining from Rayo Vallencano in the summer of 2019. He has played a total of 103 times for the club, including a total of 45 appearances in all competitions last season.
Following the update from Moreno, Betis fans gave their immediate reaction on social media. Here’s what just some had to say.
Siempre_Cronopio : I am enormously glad. With the projection that he has had since Pellegrini was here, it is not unreasonable to affirm that this year he can become the best left-back in the League. Smart on his part and great news for Betis. Something will be doing well in the club to that people like him, Guido or Fekir, with girlfriends and succulent offers, want to stay. The project excites them, the coach makes them grow (they know it) and the fans make every home game a party.
Pablo Ruesa Blanco : yes sir. Player who has shown personality when things did not work out, with the fans even asking for his departure, he has overcome, the fans have reciprocated and now he corresponds to us. Great Alex
Daniel Leal Lopez : What great news Alex, you have made my day! Thank you as a Betis for your commitment to the club. It was very difficult to replace you.
Real_Betsi2015 : You are very great, walking with us and us with you will be one of the best news we could have. The best place where you can continue to grow is at home, here. Hopefully we can enjoy you for a long time here because your progress will be our joys. A hug and THANK YOU
Sivi : Always on my team. This will always be your home Álex, you have no idea how much we, the Betis, thank you for this gesture.
Aida : Committed players, that's what we want. Thanks Alex
TE QUIERO BETIS : Big Alex, you've been Betico since you were little.
You put the well-being of Real Betis before your personal development, says the great person you are. A hug
Roddur : MY LEFT BACK, I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH
Sergio : HUGE @AlexMoreno and MY CLUB HUGE @RealBetis ... Trying to keep what works, despite everything. Looking for all the possible alternatives so as not to undersell...This is a Damn Family!!
