Brazilian center-back Diego Carlos has made the decision to accept the offer from Fenerbahçe, and in the next few hours, his transfer from Aston Villa to the Turkish club will be officially confirmed. This news is a hard blow to Sevilla FC, which held hopes of regaining one of the most important players in its recent history.
Diego Carlos, a key player in the 2020 Europa League triumph, had been under the watch of Víctor Orta, the sporting director of Sevilla, who saw him as the solution to strengthen the defense for the latter part of the season. However, the financial and sporting offer presented by Fenerbahçe has ultimately convinced the Brazilian center-back, who will seek new challenges in the Turkish Super League.
Farewell to the dream of returning to the Sánchez Pizjuán
The 30-year-old defender, who joined Aston Villa in the summer of 2022, has not had the expected prominence in the Birmingham team due to injuries and strong competition in his position. This had opened the door to a possible exit, something Sevilla tried to capitalize on for his return.
With his signing for Fenerbahçe, Diego Carlos puts an end to any chance of returning to the Nervionense club this season. Now, Víctor Orta will have to look for alternatives in the winter market to cover the defensive needs of a team that is still striving to find stability in LaLiga.
