The Bundesliga giants would be interested in signing Edson Álvarez.
It appears that Edson Álvarez could fall under the attention of Europe’s two heavyweights; according to The Telegraph, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are considered targets for the Mexican midfielder.

Since Edson Álvarez’s move to English football fell through in the previous window, the Mexican international has kept alive his dream of competing for major European clubs. On this occasion, two options have emerged that would place him in the orbit of two German superpowers that will be chasing a place in the upcoming Champions League lineup.
Reports from English outlets suggest Borussia Dortmund is leading the pursuit for the former Ajax player, while Bayern Munich is also believed to have entered the race to secure his services, intensifying the competition for his signature.
What’s in Edson’s Best Interest?
Although Bayern Munich sits among Europe’s elite clubs, the challenge for Álvarez would be to win a regular role ahead of established midfielders like Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka. That scenario could require considerable patience and resilience as he seeks minutes and impact on the field.
A potentially smoother path for the Ajax product could be a move to Borussia Dortmund, where a door might open if midfield stability is found, and if strategic transfers open a line for him to contribute soon under the project led by the coaching staff.
Ultimately, the decision won’t rest solely with the player’s camp; Ajax maintains his contract until the end of 2024, which means any transfer would require serious negotiations and consent from the Dutch club.
