Everton may be faced with a decision over keeping Charly Alcaraz in the winter window.

The South American has fallen down the pecking order under David Moyes, but after failing to land a striker in the summer, he has been tipped as an unorthodox option.

The Everton manager has admitted Alcaraz can be used at striker this season to resolve their depth issues.

However, that solution may only be temporary, with the winter window offering Everton the chance to dip back into the market.

And it could also open the door for Alcaraz to depart from Hill Dickinson Stadium.

With Fenerbahce now looking to add the Argentinian to their squad in the coming months.

What has been said about Fenerbahce's interest in Everton's Charly Alcaraz?

Life has not been great for Alcaraz at Everton, but he has shown glimpses of quality.

However, a new challenge elsewhere, and one he would get more game time at could push him to leave.

And according to Turkish outlet Sabah, Alcaraz is a player on Fenerbahce's radar ahead of the winter window.

It is stated that the Turkish giants want to take advantage of the Argentine's contract situation, with his deal set to expire at the end of the 2026-27 season.

The winter window would be the final chance for the Toffees to recoup any money from Alcaraz, but Fenerbahce are hoping to secure a deal for just a "nominal" fee.

Whether or not they do make their move depends on their options elsewhere.

The Champions League side are also tracking Brighton's Yasin Ayari, who is out of contract next summer too.

The Istanbul outfit is only looking to "add one of the two" to their ranks for the second half of the season.

Why Everton should protect Alcaraz value

Losing Alcaraz on a free, should the potential Fenerbahce move not go through, would not be ideal.

As seen with this contract situation, the vultures are already swarming in order to take advantage.

Everton could protect the value of the midfielder by at least offering a new contract, even if short-term.

It would mean they have more room to negotiate over the future sale of the player, rather than run the risk of a free agent exit.

With interest already emerging, Everton may soon have to make that decision on how strongly they want to commit to keeping Alcaraz beyond this season.
