Fenerbahce have decided on a transfer! Surprise development for the star player...
Edson Alvarez, who joined Fenerbahce on loan from West Ham at the start of the season, has become indispensable for manager Domenico Tedesco. Fenerbahce have a €22 million purchase option in the deal. However, the management will not be in a hurry. Fenerbahce, who want to use the budget for new reinforcements in January, plan to make a move for Alvarez at the end of the season.
Fenerbahce went in search of a defensive midfielder in the summer after Sofyan Amrabat failed to live up to expectations and loaned Edson Alvarez from West Ham. After this transfer, Amrabat also went on loan to Real Betis. Alvarez quickly became one of Tedesco's indispensable players. The 27-year-old, who contributes greatly to the team's defense in the midfield, has also become a favorite of the fans with his combative nature.

There will be negotiations
The Yellow-Lacivertliler have an option to buy the Mexican star for 22 million Euros. However, the management does not want to act in a hurry. The reason for this is to make new reinforcements in the interim transfer period with the available budget. It is planned to sit down with West Ham at the end of the season to negotiate Alvarez's transfer. Despite the €22 million option, the Yellow-Lacivertliler want to buy the player for a much lower amount.
Shocking reaction from the Mexican stands
The Mexican national team had played their previous friendly matches in the United States. The Uruguay game was played at the Corona Stadium in Torreon. The reaction of the Mexican fans to their team in the match, which ended without a goal, was shocking. The stands cursed goalkeeper Rangel every time he met the ball, booed their own team and chanted for the resignation of coach Javier Aguirre. "How good it was to play at home!" captain Alvarez said after the game. Other players also said it was hurtful and sad.
