Borussia Dortmund remain hopeful of signing Edson Álvarez
Dortmund have already submitted an offer for the Mexico international.
Borussia Dortmund are not ruling out the signing of Edson Álvarez from Ajax this summer, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has been working on a deal to sign Mexico international Álvarez from the Dutch giants.
Dortmund, who recently sold star player Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid, have already submitted an offer believed to be in the region of $33m to sign the defensive midfielder but have not met the asking price that Ajax have set.
With the two clubs yet to reach an agreement over Álvarez, Emre Can and Salih Özcan are the two defensive midfielders currently at the Bundesliga club, with Can being the first choice as it stands.
Yes, Brenden Aaronson is on verge to join @fcunion - confirmed. First call: @mcgrathmike.
