Flamengo continues to await Southampton's response after making a proposal to sign the young midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, who plays both as number 8 and as the main playmaker and is seen as an alternative to strengthen the midfield sector.



After the news came out that Flamengo had made a million-dollar proposal to sign the player, journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira analyzed the situation and said that signing the athlete would be a great acquisition for Rubro-Negro.< /p>


“At the beginning of last year, he was sold for just over 13 million euros to Southampton. He played well, even though the team was relegated, and was loaned to Juventus. At the end of the loan period, the Italian team chose not to keep the athlete, as he would have to pay more than 40 million euros. Now, Flamengo offers around 18 million euros, much less, but because it is a negotiation between South American teams, not European ones. If Flamengo succeeds, he will be a great player, a great reinforcement. He's a great athlete", said Mauro Cezar.
