Tallies six clearances in Napoli bout
Moreno recorded one block, six clearances and three interceptions and won one tackle in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Napoli.
Analysis: Moreno had a respectable performance in the back but didn't get a clean sheet because he was replaced with 20 minutes to go. He has recorded multiple clearances, totaling 15, at least one interception, accumulating six, and exactly one block in the last four tilts.
Solid performance versus Lazio
Moreno (undisclosed) registered four shots (zero on goal), two clearances and one block and won two of three tackles in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Lazio.
Analysis: Moreno was active on both ends in his second consecutive starts, as he pushed forward a few times, and he was a presence on set pieces, but he missed the mark on all his efforts. He'll likely be a regular if he stays healthy. He has registered four tackles (two won), two interceptions and six clearances in his first three appearances, with no clean sheets.
Good to go for Lazio contest
Moreno "exited because he was cramping up last week," coach Giovanni Stroppa stated.
Analysis: Moreno ran out of gas in the previous game and isn't dealing with an injury. He'll be neck and neck to start in a couple of spots with Ridgeciano Haps, Redouane Halhal and Juan Jesus. He has registered one tackle (zero won), one interception and four clearances through two outings (one start).
Bows out in Fiorentina match
Moreno registered one tackle (zero won), four clearances and one interception before exiting Friday's loss to Fiorentina at the 69th minute because of a muscular injury, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.
Analysis: Moreno drew his first start of the season and was busy but not particularly effective in the back, like the rest of the Venezia rearguard, which gave up four goals. He'll need to be examined before next Saturday's game versus Lazio. Juan Jesus and Redouane Halhal would be the next men up if he couldn't go.
Subbed in late against Frosinone
Moreno (undisclosed) registered one shot (zero on goal) and one clearance and completed four passes in 15 minutes in Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Frosinone.
Analysis: Moreno recovered from a muscular problem and made his seasonal debut, although he couldn't properly fortify the defense, which allowed a late goal. He might be next in line in the back if Armel Bella-Kotchap (undisclosed), who exited early, misses time.
Available versus Frosinone
Moreno (undisclosed) "will return Sunday and will be in contention to start," coach Giovanni Stoppa announced.
Analysis: Moreno will return from a minor injury that cost him the first two games and will compete with Armel Bella-Kotchap, who's not 100 percent, and with Ridgecano Haps and Redouane Halhal to replace Bartol Franjic (shoulder). He contributed to eight clean sheets in 28 matches with Levante last year, tallying 33 tackles, 37 interceptions and 130 clearances.
Tending to small injury
Moreno "is currently absent because of a small problem he suffered in training. We hope he'll be back soon," coach Giovanni Stroppa announced.
Analysis: Moreno was a late scratch for the opener, and the gaffer added that he hoped he could return in Coppa Italia in a few days, so his physical issue isn't believed to be severe. Venezia will likely keep leaning on Joel Schingtienne, Armel Bella-Kotchap and Bartol Franjic in the back, with Redouane Halhal and Ridgeciano Haps as the top deputies.
Moves to Venezia
Moreno has joined Venezia on loan with a conditional obligation to buy from Fiorentina.
Analysis: Moreno is on the move again after spending the previous season at Levante, contributing to eight clean sheets in 28 outings and posting 33 tackles, 37 interceptions and 130 clearances. He'll likely be a regular if Venezia don't add further defenders, as Michael Svoboda has left the club and Marin Sverko (hip) is dealing with a long-term injury.
Returns to Fiorentina
Moreno will return to parent club Fiorentina following the conclusion of his loan spell at Levante, the club announced.
Analysis: Moreno made 28 La Liga appearances this season, contributing 33 tackles, 37 interceptions and 130 clearances, showing solidity, commitment and strong adaptability since arriving on loan. Levante thanked Moreno for his contribution as he now returns to Fiorentina ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
