Nayef Aguerd has informed West Ham of his desire to leave the club permanently this summer, its been exclusively reported by ExWHUEmployee.

The Moroccan international, who joined the club back in the summer of 2022 has spent the season on loan at Real Sociedad, in what has been a successful period for the player.

It was understood that Graham Potter had been eager to bring Aguard back to east London to review him and ideally reintegrate him back into the side for the 2025/26 season, however the player has informed the club he wants a move away.

“West Ham have been in talks with Nayef Aguerd and his agent, with the player advising the club that he wants to be sold this summer,” stated Ex on The West Ham Way Podcast on Monday.

“Graham Potter had intended to work with him when he returned, with a view of seeing him in action and possibly return to the fold. However, that is now unlikely, as the club face another player set for the exit in the upcoming transfer window.”
