Has to be! Hopefully a 5 year deal.

We have triggered the option to make Charly Alcaraz a permanent signing for an undisclosed fee when his loan from Brazilian side Flamengo concludes next month. 🔵🔽
Has to be! Hopefully a 5 year deal.
Yes.£6.8m/year on FFP 2yr deal instead of £2.5m/year on 5 year deal? That right?
Maybe that’s what was in the option Thelwell negotiated, hence the wording from the club. If we reopened the deal perhaps it would have invited competition from other clubs. Maybe it was take it or leave it.
Yup. Clearly he still has a lot of proving himself to do to the manager, so this is his chance. We get the player so many wanted and the manager - if he has doubts - has now given the player his chance and an incentive to prove himself. Win-win.Happy.
Offer him a new contract in 12 months
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.Maybe that’s what was in the option Thelwell negotiated, hence the wording from the club. If we reopened the deal perhaps it would have invited competition from other clubs. Maybe it was take it or leave it.
Start offering players we want outside the club 2 year deals and see how long the club are talking to their agents for.The new and improved Everton?
Remember we gave Keggers 8 years in total and look how that turned out.
2 years is just weird. Feels like an expensive loan. If he plays well next year he is holding all the cards next Summer.
