Club América confirmed on Friday that Ajax have completed the signing of Edson Alvarez for a rumored $17 million making him the most expensive sale to a European club in Águilas history.
Alvarez, 21, is set to travel to Amsterdam in the next few hours to undergo a medical before agreeing all terms with the defending Eredivisie champions.
Previously, the versatile defender had also attracted interest from the English Premier League after helping the Mexico National Team reach its eighth Gold Cup title, but it appears like the Dutch club was always his preferred destination.
