Nayef Aguerd, a 28-year-old left-footed Moroccan defender, has joined Real Sociedad on a one-season loan without an option to buy for 2 million euros. Aguerd brings Premier League experience under the management of former Real Sociedad player David Moyes and featured in 28 matches last season across various competitions including Europe, the League, and the Cup. He also boasts experience in the Champions League and Conference League, having won the latter with West Ham. The new West Ham coach, Julen Lopetegui, preferred Max Kilman, which led to Aguerd's loan move. Aguerd becomes the second Moroccan in Real Sociedad's history, following Moha from the 2008-09 season.

The 28-year-old was part of the West Ham squad that won the UEFA Europa Conference League in the 2022/23 season, defeating Fiorentina in the final in Prague in June.

Real Sociedad is working on securing a loan deal for Nayef Aguerd, the 28-year-old Moroccan central defender from West Ham.

The loan is intended to help in the development of Jon Pacheco and Jon Martín at Real Sociedad. There is no option to buy included in this loan deal.

Nayef Aguerd, currently under contract with West Ham until June 2027, is close to moving to Real Sociedad on loan. The loan deal is valued at 2 million euros plus bonuses, without a purchase option. Some minor details remain to be finalized. The good relationship between Mounir Sidhoum of CANTERA SPORT (who manages the interests of Zouma and Aguerd) and West Ham facilitated the operation.
