On July 22, according to overseas journalist Santi Aouna, La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid is interested in signing West Ham defender Aguerd on loan. However, the Hammers do not want to loan him out and are hoping to sell the player outright.
Reports suggest that Aguerd had an inconsistent season last year and the player wants to leave the club for a new challenge. In addition, Atletico are eager to sign a central defender. Although the team has renewed its contract with central defender Witsel, the departure of Savic and Hermoso has made Atletico’s already thin defense even more fragile. The ironclad squad under Simeone seems to be a thing of the past.
Furthermore, it is reported that West Ham is willing to let Aguerd go. Several other clubs are also interested in the Moroccan defender.
Last season, Aguerd played 28 matches (27 starts) in all competitions for West Ham, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist. The Moroccan’s current market value is €35 million.
