West Ham United announced on Friday that Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd will join Spanish club Real Sociedad on loan for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.
Aguerd made the move to West Ham from French club Stade Rennais in June 2022. During his time with the Hammers, he made 58 appearances and played a pivotal role in the team’s successful UEFA Europa Conference League campaign in the 2022/23 season, where West Ham defeated Fiorentina in the final held in Prague.
The temporary switch to La Liga will provide Aguerd with the opportunity to gain further experience in one of Europe’s top leagues, West Ham United said in a statement.
West Ham United has extended their best wishes to Aguerd as he sets off to join Real Sociedad. The loan will last until the end of the current season, after which Aguerd is expected to return to West Ham.
