Carlos Alcaraz transfer: Everton instalments set for multi-million agreement
Everton will pay Flamengo instalments over three years for any permanent Carlos Alcaraz transfer, according to Vene Casagrande.
The SBT Rio journalist revealed on their personal X account (4 February) that the Toffees will pay a £15million fixed fee with an added £3m in bonuses.
Alcaraz arrived on loan on Deadline Day, but the Blues will have an obligation to make it permanent if he starts six games at Goodison Park.
Carlos Alcaraz payment structure set at Everton
With the arrival of the Argentine ace, David Moyes has been handed much-needed reinforcement in his engine room.
Orel Mangala picked up a serious injury in January, and the Olympique Lyon loanee will miss the rest of the season after flying back to France.
The 26-year-old had been a key player for the Merseyside outfit in recent weeks as they look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
Moyes’ arrival has seen a massive shift at the Toffees as they now sit nine points above 18th-place Leicester City with a game in hand.
Everton fans will be confident that the Scottish manager will be able to retain their top-flight status at the end of the season.
The addition of Alcaraz will only evidently boost the Blues’ chances of survival, and whether the 22-year-old will get his first minutes against Bournemouth in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday (8 February) remains to be seen.
James Garner came back into the starting line-up and performed well as the Merseysiders beat Leicester 4-0 at home on 1 February.
With Abdoulaye Doucoure and Idrissa Gueye in their ranks, the Toffees have solid midfield options until the end of the season if everyone stays fit.
