Newcastle United transfer link being monitored in Argentina
Reported Newcastle United interest in Southampton midfielder Carlos Alcaraz is being closely monitored in Argentina as a new clause in the 20-year-old’s contract emerges. The Magpies have been linked with a move for the star, who joined Southampton in January but has failed to keep his status as a regular in the Championship this term. Despite a lack of minutes, Alcaraz continues to attract interest from the Premier League.
Racing de Alma now reports that any deal, potentially involving the Magpies, would be a huge benefit to Alcaraz’s first club Racing de Alma. It is believed the Argentinian club are to receive 15% of any sell-on price for the midfielder. Southampton are believed to want £26 million for Alcaraz’s services, to turn a profit on the £12 million they forked out nearly a year ago. Brighton are known to have offered £19 million in the summer but the Saints’ man’s future remains undecided.
