2024/25 Charly Alcaraz

Can’t believe it. Should be 3 years minimum with the option of another year. We are going to be in the same boat next summer trying to get him to sign another contract. 2 years makes no sense to me at all. Some under 21s have longer contracts than this.
Wonder if it's two with an option for us to make it thee
 

Leaving aside the 2 year length of the deal, I see him drifting in and out of games and we need a lot more consistency from our first team players.

He's decent but I cant say he's that signing that gets you thinking we might be moving into a different category of club anytime soon.
Far better than Doucs - that's a start.....
 
A little underwhelmed by the 2 years but at least we have a new player done quickly that we know can work & don't have to worry about settling in. He will be here & comfortable day 1 of pre season.
 

Still doesn’t make sense though, we could agree to pay flamengo in 2 instalments even if we gave him a 5 year contract. It’s just on PSR it would spread over 5. Not sure Flamengo have the power in a transfer deal to stipulate the length of his contract once he isn’t their player.

We don’t know what Thelwell agreed in January. Maybe one of Everton or Alcaraz didn’t want to have five years in an option attached to the loan so they brokered 2. Therefore the deal is he has his loan and if you trigger the option it’s this price and this is the deal.

If we then went back to them and said we’re not triggering the option maybe they say ‘fine his price is 20 mill and other clubs are also interested and you don’t have exclusivity any more’

Who knows though but from the wording of the announcement it sounds as though the club have just triggered something that was pre-existing.
 
Looking at it from the players point of view, if he has a belting first season it puts him in a very strong negotiating position for a new improved contract next summer.
