Scouting Report & Player Insights

Gerard Moreno is a veteran Spanish forward and long-time Villarreal captain, prized for his clinical finishing, aerial threat, and intelligent movement in the box rather than raw pace. Comfortable leading the line or dropping deeper to link play, he remains a composed, high-percentage finisher even as injuries have chipped away at his availability in recent seasons. Now in his mid-30s, he continues to be Villarreal's most trusted attacking presence in LaLiga.

Villarreal club captain and one of the squad's longest-serving senior players.

Has represented the Spain national team.
