The full details of the deal that has taken Carlos Alcaraz to Juventus have been revealed and if it looks a good deal financially at least for Southampton.
footballitalia.net have confirmed the full financial details behind Charly Alcaraz's loan move to Juventus.
They say that it is €3.7m loan deal fee with €1.9m in add-ons attached, as well as €200,000 in additional costs. A €49.5m buy option was also included, payable across three financial years, with add-ons also included.
The option to buy is not an obligation, so both clubs could theoretically pull out and so could the player and to be fair if Juventus are willing to pay that much to buy him then we should perhaps snap their hands off.
Saints certainly talked in their official statement on the transfer, about him coming back to St Mary's next season a better player and resuming his career at Saints, so they do not expect Juventus to be buying him in the summer, at least not at that price.
Saints pressed for a higher loan fee in the agreement and appeared to have got it and could benefit to the tune of about £5 million if all the conditions are met.
They seemed to realise that Juve don't have the money to pay anything like Alcaraz's buy out clause so both clubs agreed pie in the sky figures for the buy out option.
