Aguerd ready to join OM: why is it stalled?

We all thought the deal was in the bag: Nayef Aguerd, after a good season in La Liga with Real Sociedad, has clearly shown his interest in our OM. Frankly, who wouldn't dream of seeing the Moroccan international take charge of our defense, especially with the project launched by Roberto De Zerbi? But alas, despite the player's green light, everything is dragging... Yes, once again, things are getting stuck behind the scenes.

Smart agents or a risk for Aguerd?

The issue, as you might have guessed, is Aguerd's agents. Instead of rushing to Marseille, they prefer to bide their time, hoping that a European club will break the bank. In your opinion, is this a good strategy or an unnecessary risk for the player? Because with Bayer Leverkusen, Atlético de Madrid, and some Premier League clubs sniffing a bargain, it's starting to sound like a bidding war. We all know that the more people around a deal, the higher the prices soar... and the more OM has to fork out. The question is: should we really match it? Let us know what you think!

A defense to rebuild, but interesting options

Let's not kid ourselves, the central defense remains the major project for the summer. The arrivals of CJ Egan-Riley, followed by Facundo Medina, show that the staff is not slacking off. Medina can potentially help on the left, but at the center, we lack a true leader, someone who can hold the fort. Today, Balerdi, Cornelius, or even Kondogbia can step in, but let's be honest, none of them have the profile of the true leader we all expect. Aguerd, with his experience and impact, ticks all the boxes. But should we bet everything on him, or continue exploring other options? Shall we discuss it in the comments?

Benatia remains confident, but patience is required

In all this, Medhi Benatia is at the helm. He is closely following the case, and according to our information, he remains quite calm despite the complexity of the negotiations. OM does not want to rush: we've seen too many transfers fail for having paid too much or recruited in a panic. If Aguerd's agents continue to hold off, this may last until the final hours of the transfer window, my friends. But we still hold the cards: Aguerd wants to come, the project is solid, and our management won't give up. So, what do we do? Do we wait or change target? Share your thoughts, OM team!
