OM Defender Aguerd Will Not Join Real Sociedad After All
Listen to the story
Marseille (OM) defender Nayef Aguerd will not join Real Sociedad after all, according to French sports newspaper L'Équipe.
Earlier reports had suggested that Aguerd was close to completing a transfer to the Spanish club Real Sociedad. However, the situation has now changed.
L'Équipe reports that Aguerd has decided not to move to Real Sociedad. Details about the reasons behind this decision have not been fully explained.
The deal between OM and Real Sociedad had reportedly included important conditions. It is not clear from current reports which parts of the agreement caused the change.
Aguerd, who plays as a defender, will now stay with OM instead of moving to Spain, based on the latest information.
Meanwhile, OM is also reportedly showing interest in another player: Reiss Nelson. He is described as a transfer target for the club.
It is not yet confirmed whether OM will complete a move for Nelson. The report only mentions that the club is interested in signing him.
This story shows how football transfer windows can change quickly. Deals that seem almost finished can be cancelled or reversed at the last moment.
Fans of both OM and Real Sociedad will likely wait for more official confirmation from the clubs themselves.
For now, Aguerd remains part of the OM squad, and talks about Reiss Nelson continue to be followed closely by football reporters.
