First, he remained silent for a week and then, when he was informally speaking to the press this Wednesday, he hesitated about his true intentions. Héctor Moreno, who just hours before claimed to not know what to do about his future, has his move to PSV Eindhoven on track, where he could land later this Thursday.
The center-back has not even attended the morning training session at Espanyol Sports City, so his transfer is a done deal. And last year he rejected a proposal from the same Dutch club, as returning to a league where he had already played between 2008 and 2011 (at AZ Alkmaar) did not satisfy him, but now he considers it a step back in his career. However, the current financial offer would improve what he receives at Espanyol and, above all, there is the fact that PSV will compete in the Champions League.
The role of Andrés Guardado, his teammate in the Mexican national team and player for PSV, has also been crucial in Moreno's decision, who would have preferred to join the Premier League or the Bundesliga, championships from which he has not received any offers this summer. Pending official confirmation from Espanyol, the Periquitos would receive around five million euros, a perfect amount to reinvest in signings such as Gerard Moreno, from Villarreal.
