Fenerbahçe’s transfer moves: Diego Carlos linked with Sevilla return

While Fenerbahçe prepares for their UEFA Champions League Play-Off Round second-leg match against Benfica tomorrow evening, the club continues its transfer activities. The importance of outgoing players, particularly in terms of budget management, is as significant as incoming transfers for the yellow-and-navy team.

Sevilla’s Jackpot Opportunity with Diego Carlos

An unexpected development has emerged regarding Diego Carlos, a player who has fallen far short of expectations at Fenerbahçe and whom the club is eager to offload. Recently linked with Ligue 1 side Lille, the Brazilian center-back has now caught the attention of his former club, Sevilla. According to local Sevilla media, the club is interested in bringing Carlos back.

“Sevilla Considering Option to Bring Carlos Back”

The report stated: “With Bade’s departure, the center-back position has become one that requires new players. Yesterday, Castrín and Kike Salas played, while Marcao’s arrival is not expected, and Nianzou is deemed too fragile. For this reason, the club is evaluating the option of bringing Diego Carlos back. Fenerbahçe is open to letting the Brazilian player leave, either permanently or on loan. The second option could suit Sevilla’s financial needs, as the player is also willing to make a salary sacrifice to return to his former club.”

Diego Carlos’ Performance at Fenerbahçe

Signed from Aston Villa in January for a transfer fee of €11.47 million, Diego Carlos has appeared in just five matches across all competitions for Fenerbahçe, totaling 188 minutes on the pitch. The 32-year-old center-back’s current market value is estimated at €9.5 million.
