Morocco international defender Nayef Aguerd, currently playing for West Ham, has attracted the attention of Atlético Madrid, and AfricaSoccer.com can report
The Spanish club is willing to pay over £20 million to secure his services, making them the favorites to sign him, according to The Sun.
Aguerd is seeking a new challenge and is considering proposals from various clubs, including his former team Rennes.
The 28-year-old joined West Ham in 2022 for £30 million and has since made 58 appearances, winning the Europa Conference League in the 2022-23 season.
The centre-back made 28 appearances for the Hammers across all competitions in the 2023-24 campaign, finding the back of the net twice and providing one assist.
The opportunity to play for Atlético Madrid would allow Aguerd to compete in the Champions League next season, a tantalizing prospect for the Atlas Lion.
Aguerd’s potential move would mark a significant development in his career, and he is carefully evaluating his options.
With interest from Premier League, Ligue 1, and Saudi Arabian clubs, Aguerd has a range of choices.
However, Atlético’s offer and the prospect of Champions League football may prove too enticing to resist.
