According to SkySportsNews, Real Sociedad made an approach for Edson Alvarez, but a bid has not been made by the LaLiga club following the initial contact with West Ham.

Voetbalprimeur.nl reports that a principle agreement has been reached between Edson Álvarez and Real Sociedad, and this agreement is still valid. Real Sociedad has been competing with Ajax to sign Edson Álvarez for a long time, but a return to Ajax is no longer possible.

West Ham United are attempting to transfer Edson Álvarez before the late-August transfer deadline, with Real Sociedad having proposed a loan. According to César Luis Merlo, no agreement has been completed. Álvarez is considering his options, and it is understood that his priority is to remain in elite European football. If Álvarez were to move to Spain, West Ham would still pay his wages, which are reportedly around £5 million to £6 million a year.

Real Sociedad continues to propose a loan deal for Edson Alvarez. According to journalist Christian Vaquero, West Ham prefers a direct sale and does not favour a loan arrangement. Edson Alvarez will now make the final decision.

According to sources in Spain, Real Sociedad is competing with Olympiacos for Mexico national team captain Edson Alvarez. It is reported that Real Sociedad made the initial approach for the player and wants to acquire him on loan with a high purchase option. West Ham is discussing both the sale and loan of Alvarez, as they are asking for a very high price for a permanent transfer. West Ham paid 38 million euros to sign him from Ajax three years ago, and so far, no interested party has offered close to even half of that amount. The English club, which has been relegated and will play in the Championship this season, is also offering him on loan with a high purchase option.

Edson Alvarez is expected to become a Sociedad player. According to The Standard, the deal is expected to be a loan arrangement with an option to make it permanent. Edson Alvarez is not part of Nuno Espirito Santo's plans and is seeking an exit prior to the transfer window closing. He was on loan in Turkey with Fenerbahce last season and has two years left on his contract with West Ham United.

A report by Marca states that a loan move for Edson Álvarez to Real Sociedad is imminent. For the move to Spain, it is said that Álvarez is willing to accept a pay cut.

According to Matteo Moretto, Real Sociedad are now close to reaching an agreement to sign Edson Alvarez, as the two clubs are nearing an agreement.

According to Matteo Moretto, Edson Álvarez could arrive at Real Sociedad in the coming days. The West Ham United player has reportedly requested to leave for San Sebastián despite having other offers. There is no agreement between the clubs yet. The English club is only considering a sale if Álvarez departs, and Real Sociedad is seeking ways to reach an agreement.

According to @marca, Real Sociedad are nearing an agreement to sign Edson Álvarez from West Ham. Talks with the Mexican footballer are advanced, and he is willing to take a pay cut to play for Real. Edson Álvarez has also asked the English club to let him leave.

Real Sociedad are seriously interested in signing Edson Alvarez and have held direct talks with West Ham. According to Spanish outlet El Desmarque, the transfer could be a deal made late in the transfer window. The report indicates that the La Liga side will look to sign the player towards the end of the window to make West Ham lower their demands for the Mexico international.

According to the print edition of Spanish newspaper AS on Friday, Real Sociedad's interest in Edson Alvarez is increasing. The report claims that Sociedad are willing to offer €7.5m (£6.4m) to acquire 50 per cent of Alvarez's rights. There are two ways the deal could be agreed. The first option would be for Sociedad to pay the £6.4m fee now and own the player's registration, which would allow him to play for them, while West Ham would retain a contractual right to 50 per cent of any future transfer profit or fee. Alternatively, Sociedad could pay a £6.4m initial fee to obtain his registration, and if Alvarez is sold in the future, West Ham would automatically receive half of that sum.

Fabrizio Romano reported that Edson Alvarez is expected to leave West Ham and that there have been initial club-to-club talks between West Ham and Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad is exploring the signing of Edson Álvarez and has reportedly submitted a formal proposal to West Ham. The offer reportedly involves paying slightly more than €7.5 million for 50% of his federative rights, with variables for acquiring additional percentages. Ajax is also competing for the player, but West Ham values him at approximately €15 million and prefers a permanent transfer.
