Sébastien Haller must play a key role in the transfer of Edson Álvarez from Ajax to Borussia Dortmund, writes Florian Plettenberg on behalf of Sky Deutschland. The two became good friends during their time together in Amsterdam and could just be reunited. If it is up to Haller, the Dortmund club management will continue and Álvarez will quickly make the passage to the Signal Iduna Park.
Plettenberg fuels the rumors of a transfer from Álvarez by stating that the Mexican is “good friends” with Haller. The latter made the switch from Ajax to Dortmund last summer and seems to immediately take off with the national title in his debut season. BVB takes the lead in the Bundesliga with one round to go and can finish it at home on Saturday against 1. FSV Mainz 05.
Haller is already looking a little further ahead and hopes to be reunited with Álvarez next season. The 25-year-old Ajax midfielder has been followed by Dortmund for some time and has someone in Haller who highly recommends him to the club management. The Ivorian international also spoke directly with Álvarez to convince him to come to Dortmund. The Mexican would be impressed by the stories.
Plettenberg emphasizes that there is no oral agreement yet between Álvarez and Dortmund, but that a transfer is definitely one of the possibilities. The first conversations were positive. The midfielder, who is still stuck in Amsterdam until mid-2025, was taken over by Ajax from the Mexican América in the summer of 2019 for fifteen million euros. Since then, the counter has stood at 146 games in all competitions, in which he scored 13 times and acted as a declarant 6 times.
