Newcastle United : This mexican midfielder could join the Magpies in the summer transfer window
The Mexican national team needs its players to compete in more competitive teams and leagues in order to improve their level. Currently, there are only three Mexican footballers in LaLiga and only one in the Premier League, the two most intense leagues in the world. However, in the coming months, another player could join the English top division.
According to recent reports, Edson Álvarez, who currently plays for Ajax in the Eredivisie, could sign with Newcastle United. The Magpies are currently in fifth place in the Premier League table and their main goal is to qualify for European competitions – either the Europa League or the Champions League – at the end of the season.
Ekrem Konur, an international transfer specialist, stated on his Twitter account that Newcastle United is monitoring the situation of the 25-year-old Mexican midfielder. According to Transfermarkt, Álvarez has an approximate market value of 35 million euros.
Although Álvarez’s contract with Ajax does not expire until June 2025, the Amsterdam team would be willing to listen to offers. In last summer’s transfer window, Chelsea came very close to signing the Mexican player, but their proposal arrived too late and the Dutch team had to reject it.
The departure of Edson Álvarez this summer seems quite likely. According to Kery Ruiz from Kery News, Newcastle scouts have been following the Mexican midfielder for some time and are pleasantly surprised by his statistics. The journalist also pointed out that Liverpool also have the mexican midfielder on their agenda.
