Newcastle United appear on the list of European clubs tracking Flamengo midfielder Jorge Carrascal. The information comes from Brazilian journalist Monica Alves, who lists the Magpies alongside Marseille and Juventus as teams showing interest.
The story surfaced with the Brazilian season reaching its final stretch, a moment that often triggers early moves for January targets. Carrascal just helped Flamengo win both the Copa Libertadores and the Brazilian championship, playing a key role in each title run.
According to the report, Carrascal’s name has gained traction as scouts assess options for the next window. Newcastle are monitoring the situation as they explore creative profiles.
The Colombian midfielder is known for his technical ability, close control and creativity. He usually operates as an attacking midfielder or wide forward, and stands out for his work in transition and his versatility across several roles.
He is comfortable with both feet and can link play in tight spaces. Some observers have questioned his overall intensity at times, but he presses well without the ball and contributes to the team’s defensive effort.
Flamengo expect a busy window and know they will need to work hard to keep key players, even with money available. Brazilian press note that movement around the squad has started early, and interest in Carrascal is already intense.
For now, Newcastle’s next steps remain unclear. However, the midfielder’s form and growing market attention suggest that his name may stay on the agenda as January gets closer.
