Stade Rennais has entered the race to bring back Moroccan international Nayef Aguerd during the current summer transfer window, but negotiations are still encountering several hurdles that could delay or completely obstruct the deal.
According to journalist Santi Aouna, the biggest obstacle facing the French club is the release clause in Aouar's contract, which stands at €15 million. The clause requires the full amount to be paid in one lump sum, and it expires on July 31, increasing the pressure on Rennes' management to make a swift decision.
Meanwhile, the future of the deal is tied to other developments in the transfer market, as Argentinian defender Facundo Medina continues his steps towards a move to Bayer Leverkusen, having become one of the key targets to strengthen the German club's backline.
These developments reflect the complexity of Nayef Aguerd's transfer situation, with negotiations intertwined with other deals and rapid movements in the transfer market. Meanwhile, Stade Rennais is still searching for the right formula to bring back their former defender, who remains in high demand during the current summer transfer window.
