West Ham and Juventus are reportedly in discussions over a potential swap deal.

Both sides are looking to address their defensive shortcomings this summer and the swap could suit both parties.

According to Sky, Juve are keen on 29-year-old Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd.

Aguerd joined the Hammers in a deal worth £30m in 2022 and made 58 appearances over two seasons before being sent out on loan to Real Sociedad for the 2024-25 campaign.

The London club could be willing to part ways with the player but want Daniele Rugani in return.
