Midfielder Edson Alvarez intended to join Chelsea on the final day of the transfer window, according to Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder.
The Dutch transfer window had already closed when the Blues submitted a €50 million offer for Alvarez on the final day of the English window. The midfielder even refused to train with his team to force a transfer.
Alvarez ultimately declined to be sold by Ajax, and Schreuder made an effort to move on by starting the Mexico international on Saturday against Cambuur, even though he had already acknowledged that Alvarez wanted to leave.
He told ESPN that “Chelsea made contact over Edson Alvarez on the last day and Alvarez requested this move.” “He experienced a particularly depressing day, but yesterday he assured me, “Coach, I am here and will give my 100% again.”
He additionally provided the following information to club media: “We talked about it with Edson. We decided that he would not work out with us because it is natural for things to be on the last day to be on someone.
“Edson has returned and is prepared to play. He has prepared himself well, as evidenced by what transpired and how he presented himself in training on Friday. He expresses his desire to play at Aja excitedly.
After Alvarez was taken off the market, Chelsea turned their attention to Denis Zakaria and negotiated a deal to sign the midfielder on a season-long loan from Juventus with a purchase option.
