Liverpool and Manchester City could compete to sign West Ham United defender Nayef Aguerd during the next transfer window.
The Morocco international joined the Hammers from Rennes last year, and he has been a key part of the first-team plans under David Moyes.
His progress has grabbed attention of Liverpool and City, and both clubs are lining up bids to sign him at the beginning of the year.
Pep Guardiola‘s side lost the services of Aymeric Laporte this summer. They replaced him with Josko Gvardiol, but are eyeing another centre-back.
Meanwhile, the Reds are looking into the future and are determined to find a successor for Joel Matip, who could leave very soon.
The Cameroonian is no longer in the prime of his career and Liverpool believe they need to find an upgrade on him in January.
Aguerd is a target for both clubs, but he won’t come on the cheap. He was bought for £30 million and could cost double the price.
