About Édgar Álvarez

Édgar or Edgard Anthony Álvarez Reyes (born 9 January 1980) is a Honduran former soccer player who last played for Platense in the Liga Nacional de Fútbol de Honduras. Primarily a winger, he could play anywhere on the right flank. His contract was ended by mutual consent in December 2012. Álvarez is known for his searing pace and acceleration, both on and off the ball. At the summer transfer period AS Roma bought Mauro Esposito and Álvarez decided to leave Roma for Livorno, who maintained an option to buy him for €2 million. After a successful loan period, AS Roma paid €1.5 million to Peñarol, but immediately loaned him to Messina and granted the club an option to buy him for €1.9 million.
