Rio Ferdinand has rubbished Wesley Sneijder's scathing criticism of Ajax midfielder Edson Alvarez.
Chelsea were very keen on signing the Mexico international towards the end of the 2022 summer transfer window. The Blues submitted a £43million offer for Alvarez back in August but Ajax were desperate to keep the midfielder.
The Dutch giants managed to do so, despite Alvarez making his desire to leave the club known to senior officials, football.london understands. Alvarez, though, has been professional and remains a key figure of the Ajax team.
