Fulham remain interested in Diego Carlos. They are awaiting the outcome of their bid for Joachim Andersen before considering another offer for Carlos after their opening bid was rejected.

Diego Carlos is attracting interest from Fulham. Aston Villa is willing to sell him, and his transfer to Fulham would facilitate Aston Villa's acquisition of Lutsharel Geertruida.

Fulham have held talks with Aston Villa over signing centre-back Diego Carlos.
