Aguerd rejects Real Sociedad move after passing medical
Marseille defender Nayef Aguerd unexpectedly declines the transfer to Real Sociedad despite completing his medical exam.
Another last-minute shock has rocked the winter transfer window. Nayef Aguerd has ultimately rejected his move to Real Sociedad, as reported by L'Ăquipe.
The deal appeared virtually done: both clubs had agreed on a loan of âŹ2 million with a non-mandatory purchase option of âŹ17 million. The 30-year-old defender had even passed his medical examination on Wednesday, which made the transfer seem like a done deal.
The twist is particularly striking because Aguerd is already well acquainted with Real Sociedad, having played for them during the 2024-2025 season. Despite that familiarity, he has chosen not to rejoin the Basque club, leaving the entire agreement in limbo. It's another reminder of how transfers can collapse at the eleventh hour, similar to what happened with Höjbjerg and Newcastle days earlier.
