Former Leeds United sporting director Victor Orta has downplayed an approach for Whites' forward Rodrigo Moreno. The Spanish striker was the standout performer in an otherwise dismal campaign that resulted in relegation to the Championship.
Rodrigo scored 13 times and notched one assist in 31 games in the Premier League last season - his best return since moving to Elland Road. However, the Whites' relegation has reportedly triggered a £3.5million release clause which has caught the eye of a number of top European clubs.
Aston Villa have reportedly made Rodrigo a target this summer, with Unai Emery and new sporting director Monchi looking to take the Villains to another level. Monchi left Sevilla last week in a move that saw Orta return to his former club, where he worked for more than a decade under the world renowned director.
