“Chelsea are ready to do whatever it takes to bring him to our team,” Van Kuperen told Goedemorgen Eredivisie. ( sand357 )

“But Ajax couldn’t find a replacement. Therefore, they are not ready to cooperate. They think qualifying for the Champions League is very important, even though Chelsea are making an offer worth 60 million euros!”

Then-manager Thomas Tuchel is trying to bring another midfielder to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2022, although they have made as many as nine signings under new ownership.

The Blues made an offer of 60 million euros (£51 million) hoping to close the deal for Alvarez, but this was rejected by Ajax as they had just sold key players like Ryan Gravenberg, Sebastian Allaire, Lisandro Martinez and Anthony are out.

The following year, the 26-year-old star moved to West Ham United for a fee of 35 million pounds, which was much less than Chelsea had offered.
