Despite the extra income - estimated at around 60 million euros - that Aston Villa will receive for qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League, the club will listen to offers for the Brazilian centre-back, 31, this summer. His high emoluments, of 100,000 pounds a week, according to the cited medium, and the two years left on his contract, until June 30, 2026, make his future in Birmingham uncertain at least today. In his second official match as a villain, the Barra Bonita broke his Achilles tendon. An injury with which he practically said goodbye to a 2022-23 season in which he reappeared, nine months later, to play 25 minutes in matchday 35, against Julen Lopetegui's Wolves (205' in total). In the recently finished 2023-24, and despite the incorporation of players like Pau Torres or Clément Lenglet, who will return to FC Barcelona after his loan at Villa Park, Diego Carlos has gone above the 2,500' in all competitions.

Milan is interested in strengthening its defense by acquiring Diego Carlos from Aston Villa.

Julen Lopetegui is in pole position for the Milan bench next season. The Spanish coach, former Porto and Real Madrid, is at the top of the Rossoneri list for the post-Pioli. Confirmation also comes from Milan's interest in 31-year-old Brazilian defender Diego Carlos from Aston Villa, coached by Lopetegui at Sevilla. Four years ago in 2020, he won the Europa League, beating Inter 3-2 in the final of Antonio Conte. It was played on August 21 in Cologne, Germany, behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Milan is reportedly interested in acquiring Diego Carlos from Aston Villa. The Brazilian defender has two more years on his contract with the English club. No contact has been made yet, but the situation is expected to evolve soon.
