The third most expensive signing in the history of Flamengo, ‘Charly’ Alcaraz officially said goodbye to Mengo in May 2025. On that occasion, Everton (ENG) triggered the purchase option for the player. Currently on the bench for the English team, the Argentine compared the fans of Fla and the Liverpool team.
“Honestly, when they sing my name even before I step onto the field, it gives me goosebumps, because it’s something that doesn’t happen to every player. It’s really special. Everton fans are very different because they are brilliant. They are always singing, they are always there,” said Alcaraz, in an interview with Everton’s website.
Flamengo spared no effort to sign Alcaraz in August 2024. At the time, Mengão shelled out R$ 110.6 million to bring the player from English football. At that time, the Argentine became the most expensive signing in Fla’s history.
This is because, Lucas Paquetá holds the record as the most expensive signing in the history of Flamengo. In this transfer window, Mengão invested 42 million euros (R$ 260 million) to bring the midfielder from West Ham (ENG).
Alcaraz arrived at Flamengo with high expectations, after the major investment made by the previous red-black board. However, the player left the Most Beloved after about six months, since he was not in coach Filipe Luís’ plans.
In total, ‘Charly’ Alcaraz played 19 matches with the Sacred Mantle, having scored three goals. In addition, the midfielder provided two assists for his teammates to score.
Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the next fixture of the season. This Thursday (26th), Filipe Luís’ team faces Lanús (ARG), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the second leg of the Recopa Sudamericana.
Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Lanús, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming) will broadcast the Recopa match.
