According to Sky Sports, Man Utd will have to pay a large amount of money to recruit Edson Alvarez from West Ham.

Alvarez is no stranger to Erik ten Hag. The player flourished under Ten Hag during their time at Ajax. This duo helped Ajax win two Dutch titles and the coach really wants to bring him to Old Trafford this summer.

Casemiro is entering the final stage of his career, Man Utd is forced to look for a capable replacement. And the fact that Ten Hag already knows Alvarez well creates more confidence in the pursuit of the Mexican international. Alvez’s versatility allows Alvez to play many different roles in midfield, whether in a defensive or advanced position.

Despite his importance to the team, West Ham are not completely opposed to the idea of ​​selling Alvarez. According to Sky Sports, the midfielder’s price is around 60-80 million euros (51 million pounds – 68 million copies), reflecting the market value and potential he brings to any team.

If the transfer comes to fruition, Alvarez will reunite Lisandro Martinez and Antony at Carrington. However, the expensive price may prevent the deal from happening.

In the summer of 2022, Alvarez almost joined Chelsea but the deal collapsed at the last moment.
