Borussia Dortmund is reportedly set to make an opening bid to Ajax for midfielder Edson Álvarez, according to the German branch of Sky. The black and yellow are eager to move forward with the deal, while Ajax is not in a hurry to sell the Mexican international.
Álvarez is said to be close to reaching a personal agreement with Dortmund. The 25-year-old midfielder could sign a contract until the summer of 2028 with the second-placed team from the last Bundesliga season. After much speculation, Dortmund is expected to officially submit an opening bid to Ajax. The deal is rumored to be worth around €40 million, plus bonuses.
While Álvarez finalizes the details of his agreement with Dortmund, Ajax is not rushing to make a decision. The Dutch club is also facing the potential departure of Jurriën Timber and has received interest in Mohammed Kudus. However, a deal for Álvarez seems imminent. Sebastian Kehl, sporting director at Dortmund, is reportedly keen on bringing Álvarez to the club.
The departure of Álvarez, who was close to a move to Chelsea last summer, appears to be getting closer. The Mexican midfielder has been a key player for Ajax since joining in 2019 and has made 147 official appearances for the club.
According to Florian Plettenberg on Twitter, Dortmund is preparing its first official offer for Álvarez, although the timing of the bid is yet to be confirmed. Loose contact has been established between the two clubs, and an agreement is expected to be reached for around €40 million, plus bonus payments.
