OM renews its interest in Aguerd
The Moroccan has experience in Ligue 1
The return of the 29 -year -old to Ligue 1 would bring precious experience and leadership to the Marseille defense. Aguerd keeps good memories of French football, especially his visit to Rennes, where he played more than 70 appearances. West Ham, on the other hand, could be willing to authorize a transfer in order to balance its workforce. The Olympians are determined to strengthen their defense after an irregular start to the season, sports director Mehdi Benatia favoring the strengthening of central defense.
Aguerd's qualities go beyond his defensive solidity. Known for his air domination and his ease on set kicks, he could bring to Marseille defensive stability and offensive dynamism. The Moroccan has 55 selections in the national selection and played a key role during his visit to Spain last season. Sunderland remains interested, but faces strong competition from OM, which can offer the defender a European football and the possibility of evolving in a championship that he knows well.
