Newcastle United showed keen interest in signing Diego Carlos in the winter market, but their offer did not end up convincing Sevilla.
The defender continued with the La Liga side, while the Magpies made sure their recent results in the league has helped them stay away from the relegation zone.
On April 21st, we carried a report from Estadio Deportivo, who explained the Spanish club are worried the ‘temptation’ to join Newcastle United is becoming ‘too great’ for the 29-year-old.
According to AS, Eddie Howe’s side are already planning for a ‘very ambitious’ campaign next season and the Brazilian is ‘still in their plans’.
Having already made a ‘strong bid’ for Carlos in January, Newcastle ‘think of him’ for their project next season. The report states the Tyneside club ‘decide to return’ for the centre-back in the summer window.
The South American’s current deal with Julen Lopetegui’s side runs until 2024. AS explain that Carlos has already extended his contract, but it has not been ‘announced for strategic reasons’.
If Newcastle return with an improved bid in the summer, it remains to be seen whether or not Sevilla will be able to hold on to Carlos for the second time.
