Diego Carlos reaches an agreement in principle with Aston Villa

BARCELONA, 26 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sevilla FC defender Diego Carlos has reached an agreement in principle to play for Aston Villa, at the expense of him passing the medical examination and formalizing the details of his contract, the Andalusian team confirmed on Thursday.

"Sevilla FC wants to thank the player for his work during all these years in Seville and wishes him the best of luck in his new professional stage," the club explained in a statement regarding the Brazilian's departure after three seasons in Nervión.

Diego Carlos, who landed in Seville in the summer of 2019 from FC Nantes, has played 136 games, scoring seven goals and lifting the 'Europa League' in Cologne, where he scored the decisive goal in the final against Inter Milan.

The Brazilian center-back stood out from his first games as a white and red player and it didn't take long for him to become a fundamental piece in Julen Lopetegui's scheme. In fact, he completed 35 league games in the 2019/20 season, 33 in 2020/21 and 34 in 2021/22, missing only 12 league games during his stay in Seville.

As a Sevilla player, Diego Carlos received his first call-up to the senior Brazilian team and was called up to play in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics last summer, where he won the gold medal with the 'canarinha'.
