Bellingham successor: BVB makes first offer for Ajax’ Álvarez

Matching reports

Jude Bellingham left Dortmund and left BVB with considerable financial potential. For a successor, the black and yellow apparently want to get down to business quickly. A first offer for Ajax Amsterdam midfielder Edson Álvarez (25) has reportedly been made.

In the Netherlands reported “De TelegraafReporter Mike Verweij first on the alleged offer, for which BVB would probably have to spend less than half of what Bellingham has thanks to his 100 million move to Real Madrid – at least when you look at the 35 million -Market value of the Mexican goes. According to reports, the Westphalians did not want to propose more than that. As “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg later added, those responsible at the Eredivisie club are even planning a sum of up to 50 million euros. There have not yet been any talks between the clubs, as can also be heard from the Netherlands.

As the reporter reported in a podcast for the Dutch newspaper, the transfer of Álvarez in Dortmund has top priority. He received his information from the club environment. In Germany, “Sport1” reporter Patrick Berger first picked up the report with reference to his own information. National player Álvarez is therefore eager to move to the Bundesliga club.

Álvarez has been playing for the Dutch series champion since 2019 and has established himself there as a top performer in defensive midfield. Álvarez had targeted a move to Chelsea last summer, but Ajax also turned down high offers from the Blues. Dortmund’s dream player is currently the second most valuable player in the Eredivisie behind team-mate Jurrien Timber (42 million). However, Álvarez would not be a one-to-one replacement for Bellingham. The right-footed player has his strengths above all in defensive work, while Bellingham was even the team’s top scorer in Dortmund this season with 14 competitive goals.
