West Ham midfielder Edson Álvarez is being linked with a move to Fenerbahce. The Turkish club is working on a loan deal that includes an option to buy. Talks have been active, but recent events have put the deal in doubt.
Álvarez was supposed to fly to Istanbul this week to complete his move. However, he did not travel and instead returned to West Ham training. This delay has created confusion and raised questions about the status of the transfer.
Fenerbahce had offered to take the player on loan and pay his full salary. West Ham liked the idea but wanted to include a clause to make the purchase option a requirement under certain conditions. That part of the deal has not been agreed yet.
The situation is still open. If Fenerbahce can meet West Ham’s demands, the deal could go through before the end of the window. If not, other clubs may try to sign him. There are reports that clubs in Germany and Portugal are also watching the player’s situation closely.
Despite the setback, Fenerbahce are still seen as the front-runners. They need a strong defensive midfielder, and Álvarez fits their style. He has experience, can handle pressure, and would be a good fit in the Turkish league.
For now, everything depends on final talks between the two clubs. Álvarez is still training with West Ham, but things can change quickly in the transfer market. If an agreement is reached soon, Fenerbahce could still complete the deal before the window closes.
Fans of both clubs are waiting to see what happens next. It’s a deal that could still go either way, but Fenerbahce remain in the lead.
