Experienced Spanish left-back Alberto Moreno has left Serie A side Como as a free agent, mirroring the situation of fellow Spaniard Sergi Roberto. The 33-year-old defender is now available on the market and is keen on securing a move back to The League.
End of Moreno’s Italian Chapter
Moreno joined Como in July 2024 on a one-year deal (with an option for automatic renewal) after parting ways with Villarreal. He made a solid contribution in Serie A, featuring in over 40 matches and scoring twice. However, with his contract expiring at the end of the 2025/26 season, Como decided against triggering the extension, making him a free agent.
The former Sevilla and Liverpool player brings significant European experience, including a Europa League title with Sevilla and a Champions League winners’ medal from his time at Anfield.
La Liga Homecoming on the Horizon?
According to reports, Moreno is prioritizing a return to Spanish football. La Liga clubs could find him an attractive option due to his:
- Proven quality at the highest level
- Versatility and leadership
- Availability on a free transfer (low financial risk)
His desire to return home aligns with many Spanish players who seek familiar surroundings later in their careers.
Parallel with Sergi Roberto
The news comes shortly after another ex-Barcelona player, Sergi Robertoalso departed Como as a free agent. Roberto’s two-year stint ended without renewal, highlighting Como’s squad refresh ahead of the new season. Both Spaniards arrived in Italy around the same period and now find themselves exploring new opportunities simultaneously.
What’s Next for Alberto Moreno?
At 33, Moreno remains fit and motivated. Potential La Liga suitors could include mid-table clubs looking to strengthen their left flank with a reliable, battle-hardened defender. His experience in big matches makes him a valuable squad addition for teams aiming for European qualification or fighting relegation battles.
