Champions League club now pushing to sign £30m West Ham star with player keen on the move

West Ham United are facing another summer of change and could now lose one of their big-money signings to a Champions League club.

The Hammers have moved on from David Moyes and now Julen Lopetegui is in charge as the club looks for a braꦅnd new start.

Of course, any part of a new m💞anager’s remit is to assess the current sqꦡuad and make decisions, both in terms of incomings and outgoings.

And while Lopetegui will want new signings, he faces a battle to keep hold of a player the Hammers splashed out on♋ back in 2022.

Atletico Madrid want to sign Nayef Aguerd from West Ham

Accor🌠ding to a report from , Atletico are keen on signing Aguerd and are looking to꧋ wrap up a deal worth just over £20m.

The defender had been a regular for the Hammers since signing but ♛missed out on the las🎃t few months of the season.

Now, it looks like a move ♎to the Spa﷽nish giants could happen.

Crucially, the report here claims that Aguerd is actually keen on ✃the move and likes the idea of testing himself in La Liga.

And with Champions League football to come as well, Aguerd is in a position to make a strong ar🏅gument to get the deal done.

West Ham need to wheel and deal

It’s not the end of the🥃 world really for💟 West Ham if they were to lose Aguerd.

Yes, he is a sound💫 defender and a good player but the Hammers have options in that position and if they can get close to their money back, 🔯it’s not so bad.

The Hammers have Kurt Zouma, Tino Mavropanos and Angelo Ogbonna who can all play in defe🌳nce, while Edson Alvarez can step in iꦅf needed as well.

Ultimately, under a new manager, there ♏will be changes. Aguerd, then, could be the first of a few who end up out the door this summer.
