Carlos Alcaraz close to returning to England

A year ago, the name of Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz gained global attention due to its similarity to that of the renowned tennis player. Over the past year, he has changed clubs three times, and it appears a fourth move is imminent.

Details: According to Sky Sports, the 22-year-old midfielder, currently with Flamengo, is set to return to England, specifically to Everton. David Moyes' team plans to acquire him on loan with an option to buy. Alcaraz is reportedly en route to Liverpool to undergo a medical with his prospective new club.

Reminder: In the winter of 2024, Alcaraz was on Southampton's roster. During that transfer window, he was loaned to Juventus until the end of the 2023/24 season. However, Massimiliano Allegri's side did not exercise the option to purchase the Argentine, leading to his €18 million transfer to Flamengo in the summer.
