Borussia Dortmund had shown interest in Edson Álvarez, but now Ligue 1 or the Eredivisie are the more likely options for his transfer.
According to Récord, Borussia Dortmund has shown a renewed interest in Edson Álvarez regarding a potential transfer. The club has reached out to Álvarez's agents to discuss a possible move in the upcoming summer transfer window. They view Álvarez as a strategic option to strengthen their midfield, particularly in light of potential departures of key players like Marcel Sabitzer and Salih Özcan. Previously, during the summer of 2023, Dortmund was on the verge of signing Álvarez when he was with Ajax, but the negotiations broke down due to disparities in transfer valuation and the coach's preference to depend on Emre Can.
West Ham United seems no longer to plan with Edson Álvarez. Offers around 35 million Euro would bring the Premier League club's bosses to the negotiation table, as reported by Mexican sports journalist Kery Ruiz. The club officials have already informed Álvarez of this decision. Borussia Dortmund, who were already interested when Álvarez moved from Ajax Amsterdam to West Ham United in 2023, are again among the interested parties for the upcoming season.
Borussia Dortmund has renewed its interest in Edson Álvarez and has already made inquiries regarding his contract status with West Ham United. Dortmund had previously considered Álvarez two years ago during his time with Ajax Amsterdam but decided not to pursue the transfer then. Although Álvarez is a regular starter at West Ham, the club has not been completely satisfied with his performances, which could lead to a potential sale in the summer. Dortmund views Álvarez as a valuable addition to their midfield. Mexican newspaper 'El Universal' reported that Dortmund is not the sole club interested in Álvarez, as AS Monaco is also monitoring the player. The summer transfer window may present an opportunity for Dortmund to capitalize on Álvarez's potential availability, as the club looks to enhance its midfield amidst a wider squad revamp.
