Shocking News:Aston Villa Sources: Unai Emery could green light Diego Carlos sale
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery could give the green light to sell Diego Carlos in the January transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the boss is not convinced of the 31-year-old’s role in his team and could look to cash in on him sooner rather than later.
The return of Tyrone Mings from injury has come as a welcome boost to Villa, while their recruitment team have already begun assessing potential new centre-back options.
Fulham had expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian defender during the summer transfer window but stopped short of making an official offer.
Football Insider revealed in July that the club were open to offers for Carlos late in the window, with AC Milan also linked with a move for his signature.
Six months on, Emery has not been impressed with what he has seen from the centre-back so far this season, and is expected to welcome renewed interest from elsewhere.

Aston Villa to make Diego Carlos transfer decision in January
The defensive line at Villa Park has been earmarked as an area for potential improvement as they have kept just four clean sheets in all competitions so far this season.
On top of that, Emery’s defence have failed to keep their opponent out in any of their last five games, raising concerns about their structure and stability.
