Sevilla Football Club have made it clear that they will not be signing back their old man Diego Carlos this summer, despite the latter's recent behavior on social media seemingly hinting at the possibility of a return, according to a new report in As.
Diego Carlos, the former Sevilla defender, is currently playing for Aston Villa, but his future has been the focus of much attention this summer. However, according to reports, Aston Villa is interested in selling Diego Carlos, but hope to get an immediate transfer fee, and its existing contract salary is much higher than in the Sevilla period, which makes him if he returns to the old owner will face a substantial pay cut, thus greatly reducing the possibility of return.
To complicate matters, Diego Carlos has sparked controversy with his recent moves on social media. He has frequently interacted with Sevilla fans and posted pictures of his children picking out Sevilla jerseys, an act that has been interpreted as a hint towards a return. However, Sevilla's sporting director, Orta, has expressed his extreme displeasure with the situation, believing that such a move gives unrealistic hopes to the fans and could spark discontent and criticism of the team's management after the transfer window closes.
Orta emphasized that he has managed to bring in a number of strong players this year such as Saur, Ejuk and Iheanacho, and that these operations have already earned widespread praise and support from Sevilla fans. He does not want Diego Carlos to interfere with this positive atmosphere by way of social media, let alone having his efforts and results misunderstood or questioned.
