In the championship, things are heating up between Bayern and BVB. Now both teams are also dueling off the pitch in squad planning.
Munich – On the pitch, FC Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are currently in a neck-and-neck race for the German championship. After the last matchday, this could go into the next round despite a sporting decision. The reason for this is that both clubs are trying to get the same player.

|---|---|
| Born: | October 24, 1997 (age 25), Tlalnepantla, Mexico |

| Market value: | 35 million euros (transfermarkt.de) |
Bayern vacuum - BVB is also looking for a clearer
In addition to the chosen transfer target center forward, Bayern are still looking for a classic clearer who they can put alongside Joshua Kimmich. This is intended to keep the national player's back free and, above all, to support the defence of the German record champions. Neither Ryan Gravenberch nor Leon Goretzka have been convincing this season.
At Borussia Dortmund, the sale of Jude Bellingham could result in a windfall in the three-digit million range in the summer. BVB would also like to strengthen their team with a clear six-man. A possible sale of the Englishman would also free up a place in midfield.

Ajax want 40 million for Alvarez
The player that the two top German clubs have set their sights on is Edson Alvarez from Ajax Amsterdam. The well-informed Telegraaf from the Netherlands reports on the strong interest of the championship contenders in the Mexican.
Ajax have had a mixed season since the departures of numerous regular players (including Gravenberch) last summer and missed out on the championship. In the meantime, even qualification for the Champions League is on the brink. Nevertheless, those responsible are willing to let the 25-year-old go for a transfer fee of 40 million euros.
Tuchel wanted him back in the summer
Alvarez was already in contact with the new Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel last summer. In the summer transfer window, the 49-year-old tried to guide him to Chelsea. Ajax rebuffed the 2021 Champions League winners three times despite a bulging wallet.

The Mexico international is not very happy about the failed negotiations, which is why Ajax officials promised to allow him a move in the summer. His contract in Amsterdam runs until 2025 and the new technical director in charge, Sven Mislintat, wants to reach a quick agreement after the end of the season. (jari)
