Cologne Reaches Agreement in Principle to Sign Edson Álvarez
FC Köln has reportedly secured an agreement in principle with English Championship club West Ham to sign Edson Álvarez. The Mexican captain appears eager to join the Cathedral club, having gathered positive feedback about the fans, atmosphere, city, and stadium. However, a potential obstacle is that the defensive midfielder might have to accept a significant pay reduction.
Reports also indicate that Álvarez has received offers from Turkey. He spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Fenerbahçe, where he made 18 appearances before undergoing ankle surgery at the start of the year.
Securing Álvarez would be a significant achievement for Köln. Their pursuit of the Mexican player could be facilitated by Tim Steidten, the club's squad planner, who previously worked for West Ham and was instrumental in bringing Álvarez to England in 2023.
