Nayef Aguerd ultimately does not join Real Sociedad
Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd of OM has rejected a loan to Real Sociedad despite a prior agreement and a successful medical examination.
Nayef Aguerd, defender for Olympique de Marseille, was set to join Real Sociedad on a paid loan of 2 million euros, with a non-mandatory purchase option of 17 million euros. This information was reported by L'Équipe.
However, a twist occurred on Thursday evening. According to L'Équipe, Aguerd ultimately decided not to join the Spanish club, despite an agreement between the two clubs and the successful completion of his medical examination.
RMC Sport also confirmed this turn of events, indicating that the player backed out of his commitment after initially agreeing. The context of player sales by Marseille could play a role in this decision.
The specific reasons behind Aguerd's refusal have not been disclosed, and no official response from the clubs involved has yet been communicated.
