Aston Villa have become the latest club to join the chase for Sevilla’s Diego Carlos.
Newcastle United made firm efforts to secure the defender’s services in January, but the La Liga side refused to let him leave, with the ‘logical promise’ that they would listen to offers for him in the summer.
That’s what ABC Sevilla are reporting today and go on to name Aston Villa as a ‘prominent candidate’ to sign the 29-year-old.
The Premier League attraction has ‘not diminished’ for the centre-back as the option to move to England could possibly help him earn the last big contract of his career.
Taking these conditions into account and also Aston Villa interest, Sevilla view the summer window as the ‘ideal time’ to cash in from the Brazilian’s sale.
ABC Sevilla state the ‘financial capacity’ of the English club ‘speaks for itself’, considering they have already sealed deals for Philippe Coutinho and Boubacar Kamara. 
Some sources state the Aston Villa manager ‘would have taken advantage’ of this trip to have an ‘informal meeting’ with Carlos.
