# Wolves: Old Gold make Carlos Alcaraz approach

**[Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) have reportedly made another approach to try and sign Racing Club midfielder Carlos Alcaraz ahead of the January transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: Approach already made

It was [reported](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/carlos-alcaraz-wolves-transfer-approach/) back in November that the Old Gold had already ‘asked for information’ about Alcaraz ahead of a potential move in January.

They had set their sights on fellow Argentinian midfielder [Maximo Perrone](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/wolves-approach-maximo-perrone-transfer-news/), but Manchester City look set to trigger his [$8m](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1608580594711298049) (£6.6m) release clause, so the Wanderers could look to move for Alcaraz instead.

### The Latest: Another approach

As per [O Jogo](https://www.ojogo.pt/) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/player-approached-wolves-club-put-e18m-asking-price-star/)), Julen Lopetegui’s side have approached Alcaraz again over a potential move in January, but will face competition from both Benfica and AC Milan for his signature.

Racing have also put an €18m (£16m) price tag over his head, so the Midlands club know exactly how much he will cost in order to prise him away from Argentinian football.

### The Verdict: Great option

Alcaraz would certainly offer Lopetegui another great option in the middle of the park in his squad.

Hailed as ‘[one of the biggest talents in Argentina](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1528866336423948288)‘ by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, he has put up some [impressive numbers](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1528866336423948288) in the Argentinian league this season, with journalist Alex de Llano highlighting his dynamism and movement as ‘[gold](https://twitter.com/AlexDeLlano/status/1525577756012068864)‘.

Kulig further lists the youngster’s strengths as ‘[pace, passing, vision, technique, ball control, creativity, long shots and set pieces](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1528850610619092992)‘, showing him to be the complete all-round midfielder at the age of just 20.

Nonetheless, Wolves would do well to fight of the high level of European competition for his signature.
