Marseille agrees to loan deal with Real Sociedad for Nayef Aguerd
Summary

Olympique de Marseille has reached an agreement in principle with Real Sociedad for the loan of Nayef Aguerd. The 30-year-old defender, who previously spent the 2024/25 season with Real Sociedad, is expected to return to the Basque club on an initial loan that includes an option to buy.
