Unai Emery doesn't seem to count on Diego Carlos Santos Silva for the future of Aston Villa. The Brazilian center-back, who was one of the first signings by the Spanish coach after taking over the reins of the English team, is reportedly on the way out for the upcoming winter transfer window. Despite playing in six matches this season in the Premier League, his involvement has been more circumstantial than consistent, reinforcing the club's intention to seek a new destination for him.
One of Emery's Initial Requests at Aston Villa
The arrival of Diego Carlos at Aston Villa raised high expectations, especially after his outstanding performance at Sevilla FC, where he established himself as a defensive stronghold and won the UEFA Europa League. As reported by 'Football Insider,' his time in England has not met expectations. Injuries and lack of consistency have marked his path at the Birmingham team, where he never managed to become a key piece in Emery's scheme.
The Basque coach is determined to restructure his squad in January, and the departure of the Brazilian could make room for new signings that better fit his needs. The winter market will be crucial in defining the future of Diego Carlos, who may seek a new team where he can regain the prominence he once had in Spain. For now, his tenure at Aston Villa appears to be nearing its end.
