“Juve have taken a big step by signing him. We’re talking about an incredible ability destined to become a sensible foreign player in a few years. In Argentina he has long been considered a crack, so much so. that in the future even Messi had predicted a bright future for him. In my opinion, Carlos can become a starter for the Argentine national team in two years’ time. He has everything to do it and at Juventus he can find the right team. to improve their ripening. We are talking about a 21-year-old who has already played more than a hundred games as a starter between Argentina and England. After all, he was already a starter at Racing at the age of 17 and during that you have to have something special.
Juve FC says
Many Juve fans admittedly do not know much about Alcaraz and were not exactly expecting him to move to Turin.
However, the midfielder has been in good form for Southampton and has five months to prove his worth in Turin.
We expect him to take on the challenge of betting on a great club and to show quality in the games he will play for us.
