Everton will pay close to £16m to get Charly Alcaraz permanently from Flamengo at the end of his loan contract.
Alcaraz was named as a surprise prospect for Everton on Friday night, when a report came in that they had finalised a deal for him.
Flamengo confirmed those reports and explained that Charly is flying for England for a medical check up with the Toffees on Sunday. He will then sign on loan until the end of the term.
The loan contract will also cover a mandatory purchase clause, which will be activated if certain simple conditions are met. Alcaraz reportedly needs to play eight matches for the clause to activate.
The value of the clause has not yet been disclosed, although since Flamengo paid €20m to sign Alcaraz from Southamption in the summer, the amount should be around that figure.
Journalist Venê Casagrande when speaking about the deal said:
“He will be bought (by Everton). Everton are obliged to buy. Flamengo have a clause there defending themselves,” he said on his YouTube channel.
“The contract is a sale disguised as a loan. This happens all the time in Europe. He will be bought and it will be for, according to people inside Flamengo, for a figure that is almost the same value that Flamengo paid last year to sign Alcaraz from Southampton ($20m).”
