Nayef Aguerd recently attracted interest from Al-Sadd. According to Foot Mercato, the Qatari club initiated discussions with Olympique de Marseille to evaluate the feasibility of a transfer. Al-Sadd proposed including their midfielder Mohamed Camara and a small sum of money in the deal, but this offer did not convince the Marseille management. The negotiations ended quickly.

According to reports, a clause was inserted in Nayef Aguerd's contract at the time of his signing with Marseille, setting his release fee at 15 million euros. If a club offers this amount, Olympique de Marseille is obliged to let Nayef Aguerd leave. If the club refuses to let him leave after receiving such an offer, it is then required to double his salary. The same report also states that several clubs in Europe and in the Gulf have a concrete interest in Nayef Aguerd.

Olympique de Marseille must sell several players by the end of June and is considering all offers for players such as Nayef Aguerd.

Nayef Aguerd, a 30-year-old Moroccan international centre-back, could leave Olympique de Marseille quickly, having only joined the club in September 2025. The club's management is willing to consider offers, and he will be sold if an offer that all parties consider satisfactory is received. Aguerd has 64 caps and 2 goals for Morocco. His current market value is €20.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
