Flamengo is about to close the deal of Carlos Alcaraz, Southampton midfielder, in a negotiation that involves the division of the player's economic rights. According to information from journalist Mauro Cezar, published on UOL Esporte, Flamengo will retain 80% of Alcaraz's rights, while Southampton will maintain the remaining 20%. This configuration of division of rights is a common practice in football, where the selling club keeps a share of the player's pass, aiming to profit from a possible future sale.
The negotiation process was long and involved several aspects , including the transfer amount and payment terms. Flamengo's decision to acquire 80% of Alcaraz's rights demonstrates the Rio club's confidence in the athlete's potential for growth, as well as its desire to integrate the player into the main squad immediately.
FLAMENGO HAS WELL SPECIFIED ALCARAZ VALUES
This acquisition is seen as strategic for Flamengo, which seeks to reinforce its midfield with a young athlete, but already with experience in European football. Carlos Alcaraz, despite being young, had remarkable spells at Southampton, which aroused the interest of Flamengo, who are looking for athletes with this profile to make up the squad.
Maintaining 20% of economic rights is a common strategy for clubs that sell promising youngsters, as is the case with Southampton. The English club, by keeping part of the rights, is betting on the player's future appreciation, which could yield a good financial return in the event of a future sale. This business model is especially interesting for teams that are in the process of rebuilding or that need to balance their finances, without losing the possibility of profiting from the sale of players in the future.
