Leeds United could be welcoming Diego Carlos as their newest addition in the upcoming season.
After a brief stint with Fenerbahce in Turkey, Carlos is rumored to be considering a return to the Premier League, potentially leaving behind his time at Aston Villa due to injury struggles.
While concerns regarding his injury history persist, Leeds sees Carlos’ experience in the top-flight as a valuable asset and are reportedly close to making a formal offer for the defender.
Manager Farke is eager to bolster the team’s defense, with Carlos being a significant target in their plans for the new season. However, Fenerbahce is said to only consider a loan-to-buy deal for the 32-year-old, with Leeds showing the most serious interest.
If the deal goes through, it is estimated that Leeds will have to pay around £10 million for Carlos, a price that reflects his quality and expertise in the game.
Despite the potential benefits of Carlos joining the team, his injury record remains a cause for concern. With Farke already focusing on strengthening the defense, it is crucial for Leeds to also address their attacking options to ensure a successful campaign in the upcoming season.
