Real Madrid ponder winter raid on West Ham for £30 million defender

Real Madrid might launch the offensive in January to sign 28-year-old Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd, currently on loan at Real Sociedad from West Ham United.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Nayef Aguerd is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions are scouring the market for a centre-back heading into the summer transfer window after Eder Militao picked up a season-ending knee injury. The Moroccan international has thus emerged as a target. However, Los Blancos will have to break the loan deal between Real Sociedad and West Ham United to land him.

Nayef Aguerd has found a stable footing since joining Real Sociedad from West Ham United on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window. The East London club signed him in a deal worth £30 million from Stade Rennais in July 2022. However, he blew hot and cold in his first two seasons with West Ham, struggling to nail down his spot in the starting lineup.
