According to a new report from As, Sevilla FC have made it clear that they will not be signing back their old player Diego Carlos this summer, and despite the latter's recent frequent interactions with Sevilla fans on social media, and even photos of his children picking out Sevilla jerseys, this has not changed the club's decision.
Diego Carlos is currently playing for Aston Villa, but his future destination has been the center of attention for fans and media this summer. Sources say that there is a possibility that he could leave Villa, but the likelihood of him returning to Sevilla is almost nil. The reason for this is that Diego Carlos' salary at Villa is much higher than what he receives at Sevilla, and if he chooses to return, he will face a huge salary gap, which is obviously difficult for both him and Sevilla FC to accept.
However, Diego Carlos' moves on social media have given unnecessary hope to Sevilla fans. His frequent interactions with fans and sharing of Sevilla-related content has certainly given fans the false hope that he might return to the team. This false hope has upset Sevilla's sporting director, Orta.
Orta believes that such behavior from Diego Carlos could have a negative impact on the club's image. He emphasized that Sevilla have already managed to sign a number of strong players this summer such as Saúl, Ejouk, and Iheanacho, and that these signings have already won widespread praise from the fans. He does not want Diego Carlos' move to disrupt the team's rhythm, let alone be blamed and questioned by the fans for it.
Orta also said that he understands Diego Carlos' deep feelings for Sevilla, but that those feelings should be expressed in a more appropriate way. He called on Diego Carlos to be able to respect the club's decision, as well as the feelings of the fans, and to avoid any further behavior that could cause misunderstanding and controversy.
