**MADRID, SPAIN** – Real Madrid are reportedly considering a shock January transfer for West Ham United defender Nayef Aguerd, according to Spanish reports. The Moroccan international, currently on loan at Real Sociedad, has impressed since leaving West Ham, where he fell out of favor last season.

Aguerd’s strong performances in Spain, including leading Sociedad in clearances and pass completion, have caught the attention of Real Madrid. The club is seeking defensive reinforcements after Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal suffered season-ending injuries, and David Alaba continues his recovery from an ACL injury.

While securing Aguerd from his loan deal at Sociedad might prove challenging, West Ham are believed to possess a recall option they could activate in January. Furthermore, Aguerd’s lack of appearances for West Ham before his loan move means he is eligible to play for another club this season under FIFA regulations (allowing a player to register with three teams but play for only two in a single season).

Real Madrid’s interest in Aguerd adds to their reported pursuit of Tottenham’s Pedro Porro, suggesting a busy January transfer window for manager Carlo Ancelotti.
