Ajax are looking to sign a new centre-back with Matthijs de Ligt set to seal a move to Juventus.
The Amsterdammers have identified Club America’s Edson Álvarez as their top target and they are willing to pay the €15 million asking price. PSV Eindhoven were also linked with the 21-year-old Mexican but they feel that €15 million is too steep.
Álvarez wants to make the move to Europe this summer, and despite interest from England, Ajax are in pole position.

I think that would be a good move tho a lot of clubs are keen on Alvarez & rightly so. I’m a fan like Frenkie he is versatile think he started as CB play RB as well but has been used in mid more lately. He is young quick tidy passer solid defender & already a huge part of the senior squad. AJAX have done well is Central & South America I think Martinez was a coup very good CB on & off the ball like Pierie also LB cover. So those two hold CB well & LB cover & then Marin is very good goal spring creative mid. Alvarez would be a great ads & still have Eiting too.
Be a great signing & would think w recent UCL success & style would suit him over some other suitors he might be benched at
