A deal could even be agreed as early as today, according to AS, however, a late spanner has been thrown by Pablo’s cousin Fonsi, who is part of t🌼he Pramac Ducati team. 

It’s bei⛄ng reported by  that Aldeguer has been speaking tꦯo Pramac Ducati with a view to joining the team on a factory bike in 2025.

That would mean s♛taying in Moto2 with the Boscoscuro team for another season, but Aldeguer is still considered the likely rider to replace Marini.&nb🐈sp;

AS stated that Fonsi “has been seen in the Lusail paddock talking to Aldeguer, trying to convince him to last one more season in the intermediate categoꦏry and then go up with them dire༺ctly with the 2025 Ducati.”

Aldeguer is not the only option Mooney VR46 have at theꦜir feet, as Fabio Di Giannantonio remains part of the discussion🐼.

But the Italian looks to be ✅second on the team’s wishlist which could mean a return to moto2 or ꦬmoving to WorldSBK for next season.
