Flamengo say they have agreed a loan deal with Everton for former Southampton and Juventus attacking midfielder, Carlos Alcaraz.
Pending a successful medical, it appears as though the 22-year-old will become the Blues’ first signing of the winter transfer window, just months after becoming Flamengo’s record buy in an €18m deal.
He had previously spent the final six months of the 2023-24 season on loan at Juventus.
Alcaraz began his career at Racing Club in his native Argentina before being picked up by Saints two years ago in a £12m deal.
Though the 2022-23 campaign was a relegation season for the south coast side, he was one of the stand-out performers and he was awarded a five-year contract in October 2023.
The deal that took “Charly” to Turin reportedly invoved an optional buy clause of almost €50m but Juve never exercised it and the player made his switch to Brazil last August.
