Fabrizio Romano has claimed on Twitter that Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are determined to sign Diego Carlos from Sevilla in the January transfer window.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported that Newcastle will push again for Carlos in the next few hours.
Newcastle have already agreed personal items with the Brazilian defender, who is keen on a move to the Magpies.
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) have had a few bids for the 28-year-old turned down, as we have covered here on HITC Sport.
Sky Sports have reported that Newcastle’s latest offer for Carlos is £30 million.
Could Newcastle United sign Diego Carlos?
Sky Sports have reported that Carlos put in a transfer request at Sevilla earlier this week.
In our view, this shows how determined the Brazilian defender is to make the move to Newcastle in the January transfer window.
We think that if PIF make a big offer for the 28-year-old defender, then Sevilla will eventually sell.
After all, no club wants to keep a player against his will.
It appears that Newcastle are very determined to sign Carlos now.
We predict that the Magpies will get their man.
Eventually.
Carlos is a very good and experienced defender who would make Newcastle a better and stronger team at the back.
The Sevilla no. 20 has scored two goals in 20 La Liga games and has played six times in the Champions League so far this season.
