Manchester United development emerges in pursuit of West Ham United ace Edson Alvarez. Manchester United are keen on signing West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The journalist reported on Twitter on 19 June that the Mexico international has been discussed internally at the Manchester outfit. The Red Devils will have new owners managing the footballing side of things, with billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS buying a minority stake.
Romano wrote: “Man United, seriously considering to bring in also new midfielder — almost sure in case Casemiro leaves.
“Understand Mexico captain Edson Álvarez is one of the option discussed internally, appreciated by ten Hag.
“It’s difficult deal, as West Ham considers him as key player.” West Ham must demand an astronomical fee for Edson Alvarez
The Hammers should demand an astronomical fee for Alvarez if he requests a transfer and Manchester United continues to pursue him.
The 26-year-old has been a key player for the club since joining from Ajax in 2023. Alvarez’s consistent performances and leadership qualities make him a vital part of the team.
Losing him would be a significant blow to their midfield, requiring a substantial investment to find a suitable replacement.
Manchester United’s interest in Alvarez indicates his value in the market. The Hammers should capitalise on this interest by setting a high asking price, ensuring they receive a fair return on their investment in Alvarez.

Ideally, Julen Lopetegui would not want to lose one of his best players, but it remains to be seen how this saga transpires.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers want to secure the free transfer of a player who’s set to leave a Premier League club this month.
