Everton seal permanent deal for Carlos Alcaraz
Everton have triggered the option to sign Carlos Alcaraz from Flamengo on a permanent basis after his loan spell at the Premier League club.
Alcaraz will pen a two-year contract with Everton, who have agreed a reported £12.6 million ($16.9 million) fee for the midfielder.
The 22-year-old Argentine scored two goals and provided three assists in 16 appearances in all competitions after joining David Moyes' side on a temporary basis in January.
Alcaraz, who started seven times in the Premier League for Everton, scored the winner in a 1-0 victory at Newcastle on the last day of the top-flight season.
He had previously played in the Premier League for Southampton after signing from Argentina's Racing Club in 2023.
Alcaraz had a spell on loan at Serie A side Juventus before joining Flamengo in August.
