Real Sociedad’s on-loan centre-back Nayef Aguerd is reportedly drawing serious interest from Real Madrid, as revealed by Fichajes.

The 28-year-old Moroccan international has been in excellent form, delivering standout performances during his loan spell from West Ham. His ability to adapt quickly to La Liga and excel in Real Sociedad’s tactical setup has made him a prominent figure in Imanol Alguacil’s team.

Aguerd’s solid defensive skills, calmness under pressure, and ball-playing ability have been crucial to Real Sociedad’s early successes this season. His dominance in aerial battles and tactical awareness have elevated the team’s defensive stability.

These attributes have not only benefited the San Sebastian side but have also placed him on Real Madrid’s radar, as the Spanish giants consistently look to strengthen their squad with top-tier talent.

A fit for Real Madrid?

Aguerd’s experience on the international stage adds further credibility to his profile. His performances with Morocco, particularly during the World Cup in Qatar, showcased his leadership and consistency.

Such qualities make him an attractive option for any elite club aiming to bolster their defence. Real Madrid, known for their sincere scouting, reportedly view Aguerd as a potential reinforcement in the upcoming transfer window.

West Ham’s decision to send Aguerd on loan to La Liga seems to have paid off handsomely. Initially, the move was intended to give the player more game time in a competitive environment, but his performances have surpassed expectations.

Reports are overwhelming

With his contract still valid at West Ham, speculation about his future is growing. A permanent transfer to another club, possibly Real Sociedad or even Real Madrid, appears increasingly likely.

Within Real Madrid, reports on Aguerd are overwhelmingly positive. His maturity, defensive consistency, and ability to perform at a high level under pressure make him a viable candidate to strengthen their backline.

If Real Madrid decide to act, they may push for negotiations in the coming weeks, aiming to secure a player whose impact could be significant for their defensive setup.
