Manchester City and Newcastle United have both made £50 million bids for West Ham United’s Nayef Aguerd.
According to Claret & Hugh, West Ham are open to offers of around £50 million for centre-back Nayef Aguerd next summer.
Aguerd was linked with a move away from West Ham during the previous transfer window, but he remained at the London Stadium.
However, in a post uploaded by site founder Hughie Southon on Sunday [17 September], it is claimed the Hammers’ stance has now changed.
It comes after Aguerd was blamed for Man City’s second goal in their 3-1 win over West Ham on Saturday [16 September].
“Nayef Aguerd, who has been linked with both Manchester City and Newcastle, could be on his way if the right kind of bid is made next summer,” the post said.
“David Moyes did not name him when claiming City’s second goal was poor in his comments yesterday, but it was clear he held the central defender accountable.”
“And it’s not the first time his gaffes have elicited a reaction from the Hammers locker room, where we’ve discovered there have been comments about his performances in the past.”
“And it now appears that if either club – or others – made an offer in and around £50 million, the club would certainly take a look.”
This is not the first time
In addition to City and Newcastle, Aguerd has been linked with Liverpool and Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad.
The Moroccan international’s standing could not have been higher at the time, but his performance versus City demonstrated that he is not invincible.
With summer addition Konstantinos Mavropanos watching from the bench, any further errors by Aguerd could cost him his starting spot.
Aguerd will be frustrated with his clearance, which resulted in Bernardo Silva’s exquisite finish, which Alan Shearer highlighted on Match of the Day.
Moyes remarked after the game that he was “disappointed” with the goal and that it was a “poor” goal to surrender.
Although Aguerd was not named, it was evident who the West Ham manager was referring to.
It is not the first time he has been at fault this season, and a break from the team could be beneficial to the 27-year-old.

West Ham United played well overall against Manchester City yesterday, but we lost 3-1, and David Moyes will be disappointed with a few of errors.
The Hammers have started the 2023/24 season well, but there is one major issue that I am concerned about.
Nayef Aguerd has done a lot of good, yet he has also made some serious mistakes.
And I believe Moyes should remove him from the firing line…
David Moyes must rest a West Ham United player for the Liverpool match.
Aguerd, 27, was at fault for Manchester City’s second goal yesterday at the London Stadium.
The main concern here is that this was not a one-time occurrence; rather, it appears to be happening far too frequently.
The former Rennes star, who was purchased for £30 million last summer, must swiftly realize that mistakes in the Premier League against the best teams are almost always punished.
He has been hugely disappointing this season in my opinion – I expected far more from him.
Listen, I’m not suggesting Nayef Aguerd is finished as a West Ham player; I just think David Moyes should rest him for a few games.
Konstantinos Mavropanos and Angelo Ogbonna are both more experienced operators than the Moroccan.
Aguerd’s positional awareness, impulsive decision making, and error-prone disposition have already cost the Hammers this season.
And, in my opinion, David Moyes must immediately drop the West Ham player for his own good.
