Mike Verweij expects that Edson Álvarez's arrival at Ajax will be a very difficult undertaking if Fenerbahçe does not sign N'Golo Kanté this month. Marijn Beuker traveled to Istanbul after Ajax's match against Villarreal to make another attempt to sign Álvarez. Fenerbahçe's technical director has stated that Álvarez is not permitted to leave. However, if Kanté, who becomes a free agent after this season, joins the club now, there is a risk that Álvarez will not play much before the World Cup. This situation might lead to Álvarez pushing for a departure, which could result in Ajax loaning him from West Ham. The technical director of Fenerbahçe has said that this is not currently a consideration. Álvarez is currently playing in every game. According to Verweij, it will be a very difficult undertaking for Ajax if Kanté does not join. Verweij also stated that if he does, they see an opportunity.
