Back in the Premier League, Sunderland decided to hit hard on the transfer market this summer. Under the direction of Regis Le Bris, the English club already recruited more than 12 players with in particular the arrivals (among others) of Habib Diarra, Simon Adingra, Chemsdine Talbi, Noah Sadiki, Granit Xhaka, Nordi Mukiele, Omar Alderete, Robin Roefs or Reinildo, Masuako and Marc Guiu. And the Black Cats do not intend to stop there since they actively seek a central defender. According to our information, the management targeted the profile leading to the Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd.
Loaned last season to Real Sociedad, the former Rennais returned to the side of West Ham this summer. If he was holder during the two heavy defeats against Chelsea (5-1) and this same Sunderland (3-0), the Moroccan was announced on the start for several weeks. Coveted by OM, but also by Roma and AC Milan, he had not managed to find an agreement. Sunderland intends to convince him to join the club's ambitious project and wishes to come back to formulate an important financial offer to encourage the player to leave West Ham. It remains to be seen whether it will be enough to seduce Aguerd and if West Ham will agree to give in his defender.
