According to a claim in the French media, FC Porto and Villarreal are showing interest in West Ham United defender Nayef Aguerd.
The Morocco international had found himself down the pecking order due to summer arrivals and may have to move on before the transfer window closes on Friday.
Footmercato today report on the latest developments regarding Aguerd’s future at West Ham and they say Porto and Villarreal have made the 28-year-old their priority as they look to bolster their defensive options this summer.
Aguerd is said to be keen to find a new club before Friday’s deadline, and Saudi clubs are also monitoring the situation with him.
The French media outlet say a transfer for the central defender could accelerate in the coming days, but it’s likely the player will have to lower his wage demands. A number of Ligue 1 sides have reportedly been showing an interest in the West Ham man but backed away due to his salary.
He made 28 appearances for the Hammers last season, scoring two goals.
