Moreira has failed to even make the Villa bench under Dean Smith.
The Birmingham Mail have claimed that Aston Villa are set to cancel goalkeeper Andre Moreira’s loan at the club from Spanish side Atletico Madrid, after Yannick Bolasie returned to Everton.
Winger Bolasie decided to return to parent club Everton despite making 21 appearances for Everton, in which he scored two goals and created five more assists.
The 23-year-old goalkeeper has managed just two appearances in the Carabao Cup for Villa, but has failed to even make the bench under Dean Smith.
Villa have since signed Croatian World Cup goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic and recalled Jed Steer from his loan at League One side Charlton Athletic. Despite Orjan Nyland suffering a long-term injury, Moreira looks finished at Villa.
A Portugal Under-21 international, Moreira has failed to make a single appearance for Atletico Madrid throughout his career and the likelihood is is that he may leave Atletico for a second time – if he does indeed leave Villa.
A shake-up in the goalkeeper department is likely to occur at Villa in the summer, too. Steer and indeed Mark Bunn are both in the final months of their contract at Villa Park, and the duo may leave.
