AC Milan are one of the teams that are admirers of Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz and expressed an interest, a report claims.
According to a report from FootballTransfers, Newcastle United are keen on signing Alcaraz and they held talks with the 20-year-old over a summer move, but it did not end up materialising because of their £30m (€34.7m) asking price.
The report mentions that Benfica and Milan also had talks, with both European clubs ‘registering a firm interest in their long-term target’, but the Saints are hoping Newcastle go back in for him in January.
Alcaraz has been mainly playing on the left-side of a midfield three having joined in January from Racing Club for £12m. He made 18 Premier League appearances, netting four goals and providing two assists, but Saints were relegated to the Championship.
The report does not mention whether Milan will go back in for the Argentine in the coming months but the fact they signed Tijjani Reijnders, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Yunus Musah for the box-to-box roles suggests there is less urgency.
I live in Southampton and he is a very good and promising player, he is like Bennacer not a tall and strong player but a warrior.
Looks like a fem guy. But hes a warrior you say, is he actually tougher than he looks then?
He is, I saw him playing against big team from premier league the guy has a fighting spirit, he runs non stop really similar like Bennacer. But they just sold Lavia for 50£ mil and Ward for another 30+ mil so they don’t really need money and will ask for at least 30 mil
Good look, thx for the info!
It’s always good to hear from someone who has actually seen one of our transfer targets play! Thanks for the info.
Good insights, but we need a guy with brut force and can dominate opponent like kessie.
