Football transfer updates: Aguerd nears Real Sociedad move and Mohamed remains at Nantes

Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd is nearing a move from Olympique de Marseille to Real Sociedad. Following a preliminary agreement between the clubs, Aguerd is expected to join the Spanish side on a loan deal with an option to buy. This move aligns with Marseille's efforts to restructure its finances and reduce its wage bill. Aguerd, who previously played for Real Sociedad on loan, reportedly agreed to the move to compete in the Europa League under coach Sergio Francisco.

Meanwhile, at FC Nantes, striker Mostafa Mohamed remains in a standoff with the club. The Egyptian international has failed to report for training as he seeks a transfer away from the team. Despite his desire to leave, no formal offers have been received by Nantes management. Due to his high salary, which exceeds 100,000 euros, the club faces difficulties finding a buyer as the transfer window approaches its close.
