Carlos Alcaraz Transfer from Southampton to Flamengo
Carlos Alcaraz, initially acquired by Southampton for approximately 13.5 million euros from Racing in January 2023, has made a return to South America to join Flamengo. The 21-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year contract and underwent standard medical examinations on Wednesday. Flamengo paid 18 million euros to the English club after Alcaraz spent half a year on loan to Juventus, which had cost the Italian side nearly 4 million euros.
Carlos Alcaraz is expected to join Flamengo, barring any surprises. This move means that Lazio will miss out on one of their main candidates to strengthen their midfield.
Southampton has agreed on the transfer of Charly Alcaraz to Flamengo. This transfer is part of a deal that involves Flamengo transferring Victor Hugo to Southampton, who will then loan him to Göztepe.
Flamengo is looking to finalize the signing of midfielder Carlos Alcaraz from Southampton.
Carlos Alcaraz's career seemed set to continue in Brazil, with Flamengo particularly interested in securing his services. However, Flamengo has not yet closed the deal, giving new hope to Lazio. The courtship from Brazil continues for Alcaraz, who will know in the coming days which club he will join.
Alcaraz, an Argentine midfielder owned by Southampton, is tired of waiting for attractive offers from Europe and is currently negotiating with Flamengo. The negotiation is in an advanced stage, and Lazio has minimal chances of intervening.
Flamengo has been courting Carlos Alcaraz for some time. The initial offer to the Saints was 18 million pounds, but after a negative response, they increased it to 21 million pounds (around 25 million euros). Alcaraz seemed more interested in continuing his career in Europe initially, but Flamengo's persistence has made an impact.
Carlos Alcaraz is also attracting interest from Flamengo, which has already made an offer of 18 million euros plus bonuses.
