Fenerbahce has finally confirmed that Edson Alvarez will be joining the team. Jose Mourinho will have at his disposal one of the best Mexican players of the moment, and through an official statement, the club announced the details of the deal with West Ham.
“Our club has reached an agreement with West Ham United of England for the loan transfer of Mexican international Edson Alvarez until the end of the 2025–2026 season, with an option to purchase. We welcome Edson Alvarez to our family and wish Fenerbahce and the yellow-navy team many more victories and championships.”
After failing to establish himself in the Premier League, the 2025–2026 season will be crucial for the midfielder as he prepares for the World Cup, which he will play at home with the Mexican national team. The captain of the famous Tri will be aiming to reach his peak form.
Who is Edson Alvarez?
Edson Alvarez is the current captain of the Mexican national team and, at 27 years old, one of the country’s biggest stars. His career began in the youth system of Club America, and over the years, he became a symbol of the most important team in Liga MX.
Due to his extraordinary potential, Ajax signed him in 2019 in a transfer worth around $18 million. From that moment on, Edson became one of the best midfielders in the Eredivisie, and many rumors linked him to a move to Manchester United.
