Carlos Alcaraz left with no choice but to join Everton in transfer twist
Carlos Alcaraz was left with no choice but to leave Flamengo and sign for Everton, according to O Globo.
The Argentinian news outlet reported (1 February) that the midfielder was informed that he did not fit the system under Filipe Luis.
Therefore, after finding out that he would not be playing for Flamengo again, even if he was to stay put, the 22-year-old has agreed to join Everton on loan, with an option to buy.
Carlos Alcaraz set to join Everton
After confirming his departure from Flamengo, those at Goodison Park will be hoping it’s just a matter of time until this signing is complete after the Toffees had their offer accepted [Raisa Simplicio, 31 January].
There has been some confusion after suggestions that a deal is yet to be agreed [Alan Myers, 31 January] which has left supporters scratching their heads somewhat.
However, given he has departed, it will surely just be a matter of time until the Blues announce the addition of what could be another exciting young prospect at Goodison Park.
After Orel Mangala picked up an injury that has ended his season, David Moyes is certainly in need of reinforcement in the midfield as he looks to save his side from the relegation drop this term.
Given the youngster is looking to make a move in the hope of getting minutes on the pitch, this should bode well for a player willing to give his all on Merseyside.
