Mexican team Tigres UANL reportedly made Edson Alvarez, 28, their top transfer target. Alvarez is currently on loan at Fenerbahçe from West Ham United. Although Tigres presented an attractive offer to the defensive midfielder, the player is understood to have rejected the proposal due to his career plans and goals for the 2026 World Cup. The Mexican international has 96 caps and 7 goals for his country, and has made 9 appearances with 1 assist in the Süper Lig this season. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €22.00m. Fenerbahçe also reportedly declined a €22 million purchase option for the player in January 2026.
