Utrecht Activate Purchase Option for Ángel Alarcón

Utrecht have exercised the purchase option on 22‑year‑old winger Ángel Alarcón, securing his permanent transfer from FC Porto. The Dutch club will own the player on a contract that runs until 2029. Alarcón left FC Barcelona in 2024 to join Porto on a permanent deal. The move marked the end of his youth tenure at the Catalan giants. Porto sent the forward on loan to FC Utrecht during the winter transfer window. The loan was intended to give him regular first‑team football in the Eredivisie. The loan spell proved decisive as Alarcón made a strong impact in the Dutch league. His performances convinced Utrecht to trigger the buying clause. The permanent deal extends Alarcón’s stay with Utrecht until 2029. The club announced that the player will be retained on a long‑term contract. Utrecht presented Alarcón as a new star for the club. The management highlighted his potential to become a key figure in their attacking line‑up. Looking ahead, Utrecht expect the winger to continue his development and contribute to the team's ambitions in domestic competition. The club will monitor his progress closely.
