The player joined Aston Villa in 2022 for a fee of around \u00a326 million, but he suffered from injuries issues and was not a regular starter for the club. He was to participate in the Turkish costume Fenerbafe in January.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos was also linked to Newcastle United at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It would be interesting to see if they are ready to lend him and send him after just a few months of signature. There&#8217;s no doubt that Carlos is a fit and reliable defender at his best. He could be a very useful acquisition of Leeds, Sunderland and Burnley.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diego_Carlos_will_be_a_useful_addition\"><\/span>Diego Carlos will be a useful addition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/crystal-palace-v-aston-villa-premier-league-1-414x283.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/crystal-palace-v-aston-villa-premier-league-1-630x431.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/crystal-palace-v-aston-villa-premier-league-1-768x525.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/crystal-palace-v-aston-villa-premier-league-1-770x527.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/crystal-palace-v-aston-villa-premier-league-1-900x616.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/crystal-palace-v-aston-villa-premier-league-1.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diego Carlos&#8217; actions.
