Nayef Aguerd News: Signs with Marseille

Aguerd has completed a permanent move from West Ham United to Marseille, his new club announced.

Aguerd was born in Kenitra, Morocco, where he learned discipline and defensive elegance at the Mohammed VI Academy before becoming a key player at FUS Rabat. He moved to Dijon in 2018, then Rennes in 2020, where he established himself among the best defenders in Ligue 1 and gained European experience. In 2022 he joined West Ham, winning the Europa League in 2023, and spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Real Sociedad, playing 36 games. He also played a central role in Morocco's historic 2022 World Cup run to the semifinals, and today he embodies a quiet but essential leadership that will serve him well under coach Roberto De Zerbi as he is set to become a regular starter in the backline in OM and a fans' favorite.
