The 20-year-old caught the eye during the U20 World Cup, where his pace, flair, and creativity drew attention from several European scouts. Currently playing for SD Aucas in Ecuador, Alvarado has been one of the standout young talents in South America this season.
According to sources in Ecuador, Leeds have officially asked about the player’s situation, marking the first concrete step toward a possible deal. The Whites are said to be keen on strengthening their attacking options ahead of the next transfer window, and Alvarado’s profile fits perfectly with the club’s recruitment model — young, technical, and with significant resale potential.
Alvarado, who has represented Ecuador at various youth levels, is understood to be weighing up his options carefully. While Leeds are currently leading the race, other European clubs are also monitoring the situation closely.
No official bid has been submitted yet, but talks are expected to continue in the coming weeks as Leeds assess the financial details of a move.
If completed, the signing would underline Leeds United’s continued ambition to scout emerging international talents and build a squad capable of returning to the Premier League.
