Ajax is exploring the possibility of re-signing 27-year-old Mexican defensive midfielder Edson Álvarez. Trainer John Heitinga mentioned Álvarez is always welcome and would be a valuable addition to the team. However, Heitinga is uncertain if the transfer is feasible. Ajax wants to loan Álvarez, but they are not the only club interested in him. Álvarez is open to leaving West Ham United, especially with the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. His contract with the club runs until 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €25.00m.
