Alcaraz: from a possible trip to Portugal to ring in the Premier

The transfer market has Carlos Alcaraz as one of the values ​​of Argentine soccer under the gaze of European clubs. But his future, far from offering clarity, today is a question mark. While in Portugal they say that Benfica would have given up signing him, a confirmation also came to light: there are two Premier League clubs that are firmly interested in Charly.

According to what they confided to Olé, from Wolverhampton and SouthaptonFC in England they contacted Carlitos’ representative to request conditions for the player. His agent replied that Racing wants 15,000,000 euros (the termination clause is 25,000,000) and the clubs agreed to answer. The first of those mentioned has been behind Alcaraz for several months and there have already been several contacts with the businessman who defends the footballer’s interests.

Instead, Inter and Milan, who at the time asked about him, never advanced. Regarding Benfica, in Portugal the version circulated that Rui Costa, the coach, backed down for Alcaraz due to alleged bad behavior by the player.

However, on Charly’s side they flatly denied it and confided to this newspaper that the Portuguese club never made a formal offer, beyond having communicated that it had – or has – in its sights. For now, at least the representative did not start any more talks with that club, that he set his sights on Carlitos to replace Enzo Fernández, whose imminent transfer to Chelsea.

For his 20 years, Carlitos is a player with a lot of projection and appetizing in Europe based on his dynamics, reaching the goal and ability to occupy various positions from the middle up. Author of the winning goal over Boca that gave Racing the Champions Trophy, in San Luis, Alcaraz was always pointed out by the Academy as one of the players to sell in this transfer market as long as an offer arrives that convinces the leadership.

So far, the sale made by the Academy is that of Enzo Copetti, transferred to MLS Charlotte for 6,000,000 dollars (4,000,000 clean for the club). The rest of the starts were on loan or free. Eugenio Mena (Catholic of Chile), Lucas Orban (looking for a club), Mauricio Martínez (Liga de Quito) and Fernando Prado, Chila Gómez (on loan for a year to Vélez) and Barracas Central (loan to Vélez) left.
