Real Sociedad have reached a verbal agreement for a loan deal with West Ham's Moroccan defender, with a €4m loan fee and €11m buy‑option clause reported.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Sociedad have reached a verbal agreement to sign West Ham defender Nayef Aguerd. The deal is structured as an initial loan with a €4m fee and includes an €11m option to make the move permanent. The fee has not been disclosed beyond these components, and the transfer remains subject to finalisation.
Onside’s model values the defender at €15m and assigns a 95% confidence level to the reported agreement. The model notes that there is no fee to compare against the valuation at this stage, as the full terms are yet to be confirmed.
Three outlets are currently following the story, indicating growing coverage of the potential move. Should the agreement be finalised, Aguerd would leave West Ham to join Real Sociedad, fulfilling the player's expressed preference for the Spanish club.
