Fabrizio Romano says Man United are considering surprise move to sign ‘exceptional’ West Ham player
Manchester United are internally discussing a move to sign one of West Ham United’s most important players this summer.
The Irons are about to begin a new era under Julen Lopetegui, who has replaced David Moyes as the club’s new manager.
There is a lot of excitement around the London Stadium and rightly so. The Spaniard will bring an attractive style of football to the club, which is something that hasn’t been there at West Ham for a few years now.
All eyes are currently on the transfer market to see who Lopetegui will sign, but there is a small chance that they could receive an offer from Manchester United for one of their key players.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who has shared the latest on the situation.
Fabrizio Romano says Manchester United are considering move for West Ham’s Edson Alvarez
West Ham signed Edson Alvarez from Ajax in the summer of 2023.
The Mexico international had an impress🌃ive debut season in East London. Everybody at the club admires him and he has beco🔥me a popular figure there.
Alvarez was brought in as a replacement for Declan Rice before the start of the 2023/24 campaign, and althou🌞gh he isn’t quite on the same ཧlevel as the Arsenal man, he showed his quality on multiple occasions.
We are keen to see how the ‘‘ Alvarez would fit in at West Ham under Lopetegui, but t𓂃here is now a cha♒nce that he may not even play under the new Irons boss.
That’s because Manchester United are internall෴y discussing a 🍎move to sign the talented Mexican defender in this summer’s transfer window, claims Romano.
Alvarez and Erik ten Hag know each other very well having worked together at Ajax. With the Dutchman set to stay at Old Trafford, any move for the West Ham man will probably be d🅘riven by him.
Romano said on : “What I can say on this is that one of the names, one of the options – again, let me be clear, he’s an option, it’s an internal discussion, it’s not a neg꧂otiation club to club, there is still no bid, it’s not something that’s happening today, tonight tomorrow or this week, it’s something I would say one to watch in the summer transfer window – is the Mexico captain and West Ham midfielder, Edson Alvarez.
“Edson Alvarez is a player that Erik ten Hag knows so well because they worked together at Ajax. He is a player who was already on Manchester United’s shortlist one year ago, appreciated 𓃲by people in the scouting. It was impossible to sign Edson Alvarez one year ago because West Ham invested big money on him.
“Also, for this summer, ℱit’s not an easy deal because West Ham keep considering Edson Alvarez as a really important player. But, it’s one of the option♐s they started considering internally in case they want to bring in a new midfielder.
“It’s a possibility, it’s not a done deal, it’s not a negotiation, but it’s one of the names they are considering for holding midfielder at Ma🐈nchester United.”
West Ham fans have nothing to worry about
Aꩵny interest in your club’s key players is always a concern, but West Ham fans shouldn’t be too worried about Manchester United eyeing a move for Alvarez.
Yes, there is a chance that the Mexican would want to make the jump to Old Trafford, but the Hammers are♋ in a very strong position with respect to his contract.
Alvarez has been tied down to a deal until the summer of 2028. After signing him for £35.4 million in 2023 (), they are in a position where they can demand a fortune for himꦆ.
That could price Manchester United out of a move this summer, which is why, as things stand, we don’t expect this move to go throug🔯h.
However, football is a funny gam🍎e and stranger things have happened over the years.
