West Ham United midfielder Edson Alvarez is reportedly a target for Ajax, with Real Sociedad also keen on the 28-year-old. The Hammers, relegated last season with 33 points, may sell high earners like Alvarez this summer.
What happened?
Ajax are keen to bring back Edson Alvarez, who left for West Ham in 2023. The Dutch side still owe West Ham part of his transfer fee. Real Sociedad are also interested in the Mexican midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce.
Why it matters for West Ham United
After finishing 17th in the Premier League with 40 goals scored and 57 conceded, West Ham need to cut costs. Alvarez, who won two Eredivisie titles with Ajax, could be sold to balance the books. His return to Amsterdam would reunite him with his former club.
What comes next?
West Ham will weigh offers for Alvarez, who played 147 games for Ajax before moving to England. With Real Sociedad also in the race, the Hammers could demand a significant fee. Alvarez himself is open to a return to Ajax, where he won the KNVB Cup.
