Agreement with the English club on the basis of a costly loan with the right to buy him in an operation exceeding 50 million.
“Cristiano Giuntoli had already set his sights on him when he was the sporting director of Napoli. Now, he has closed the deal to bring him to Juventus to strengthen Massimiliano Allegri’s midfield. We’re talking about the Argentine from Southampton, Carlos Alcaraz, born in 2002 (not to be confused with the Spanish tennis player of the same name), who played 26 games this season in Championship, Carabao, and FA Cup, scoring four goals and providing three assists. The negotiation is in the final stages, based on a costly loan (€3.7 million) with a buy option (around €49 million). The total cost of the deal is over €50 million.
The Bianconeri had already reached an agreement with the player, who arrived in England from Racing de Avellaneda in January 2023 for €13 million. Today, Alcaraz will undergo medical examinations in London, and the ones at JMedical are scheduled for tomorrow, February 1st, the last day of the transfer window.
For Allegri, a versatile midfielder is on the way: Alcaraz’s primary position is as a central midfielder, but he can also play as an attacking midfielder behind the strikers. A year ago, besides Napoli, Inter also sought Alcaraz (the Argentine is a former Racing player, like Milito and Lautaro Martinez).”
