Real Zaragoza has accelerated negotiations to bring Álex Forés in this winter transfer market. The imminent departure of Iván Azón has pushed the club to seek a quick resolution with the 23-year-old Valencian forward. Juan Carlos Cordero has intensified conversations with Villarreal to try to get a green light this week or next. Forés would arrive on loan but with a purchase option in case of promotion to Primera.

Real Zaragoza is in talks with Villarreal regarding the potential loan of Álex Forés. The player was previously considered during the summer transfer window but was sidelined due to a tibia fracture sustained in May. Although he has since recovered, Forés has not played for more than six months. Real Zaragoza is in need of a new forward due to injuries within the team and has renewed its interest in Forés, particularly given the uncertain contract situation of Iván Azón. Additionally, Famalicão, a club from Portugal currently ranked ninth in their league, has also expressed interest in securing Forés on loan until the season's end. Having scored 16 goals last season, Forés has yet to decide on his future, and Villarreal is reportedly open to allowing him to leave in order to regain competitive form. This information was reported by journalist Matteo Moretto.
