Ajax star Edson Alvarez says actress Salma Hayek tried to convince him to join Rennes.
The French side tried to sign the defensive midfielder in the summer transfer window, but he opted to remain in the Dutch capital.
But Rennes employed a special tactic to try to persuade him, calling on Mexican actress Hayek, the wife of the club's owner and the star of several Hollywood films, to reach out.
Alvarez was flattered by the interest from such a famous compatriot, but is happy he stayed at Ajax.
“It was very difficult [to reject Rennes], but in the end I had no doubts," he said to De Telegraaf.
