An Italian source suggests Newcastle United is interested in signing Carlos Alcaraz of Southampton. Juventus signed the midfield player from the Saints on a winter transfer, with the option to extend his stay permanently for €49.5 million. The Old Lady will not activate the purchase option, according to numerous reports in Italy. This is especially true given that he only played 379 minutes in 12 games.
Alcaraz is going back to Southampton, and Newcastle might think about acquiring him during the summer transfer window. Italian reporter Mirko Di Natale claimed on X, the platform that was then known as Twitter, that Eddie Howe’s team had been in touch with the Saints to request details regarding the 21-year-old. He concludes his remarks regarding the Magpies there.
Newcastle has reached out to inquire about the requirements in order to sign the Argentine. Further developments might occur based on their response. Southampton may think the player has a future with them now that they’ve gained promotion back to the Premier League. Russell Martin’s team has received contact from Tottenham Hotspur in addition to Newcastle. The South American’s contract with the Saints expires in 2028, and he signed on January 20, 2023.
