With Jayden Oosterwolde and Rodrigo Becão, Fenerbahce are missing two defenders suffering from torn cruciate ligaments until the end of the season. In order not to lose contact with the championship leader, Galatasaray (six points ahead) in the title race, two new recruits should be recruited as replacements this winter. While a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt has recently become less likely because of Tuta, the first appears to have been reached with Aston Villa’s Diego Carlos.

According to Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, an agreement has been reached with the Premier League club and the Brazilian central defender. The Villans’ transfer fee amounts to 11 million euros, in line with market value, paid in installments over four years. This is only the eighth time in the club’s history that the Canaries have spent a double-digit million on a new recruit (among record transfers).

Diego Carlos cost €31 million in the summer of 2022 when he arrived in Birmingham from Sevilla FC. After 36 appearances last season, he has only made ten Premier League appearances this season. “The lack of playing time is partly due to a (Site notre bureau spécialisé) injury, but the Brazilian was also often on the bench,” explains Ben Littlemore, Area Manager UK at (Site notre blog d’information). « While Tyrone Mings is now back from a cruciate ligament injury that kept him out of action for most of last season, Mings, Ezri Konsa and the injured Pau Torres appear to be ahead of Diego Carlos in the ranking. »

For Unai Emery’s side, who, eighth in the Premier League, are once again within reach of international affairs and fifth in the Champions League with 13 points from six games, the loss of Diego Carlos would be anything but irrelevant . “As Torres is expected to be out until March, Aston Villa could be a little tight at centre-back. “We should therefore act before the transfer window closes on February 3.”

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano recently reported that the Villans have redoubled their efforts for Loïc Badé (24), who, like Diego Carlos before him, has impressed at Sevilla FC. The Frenchman was initially loaned to the La Liga club six months after the Brazilian’s departure, and they signed him from Stade Rennais for 12 million euros at the end of the season. Badé was able to more than double his market value at Sevilla, to €25 million, and his exploits were rewarded with his first appointment for the Blues last October.
