Sevilla decides not to sell Diego Carlos

Sevilla will not sell Diego Carlos to Newcastle, one of the issues that had the Nervionian fans on edge, celebrating the arrival of Anthony Martial on Tuesday as a luxury reinforcement on loan from Manchester United.

The club, after studying the latest offer from the English team, has transmitted to the Brazilian’s agents that the intention is for him to stay in the squad, since he is one of the basic pillars of the defensive block that Julen Lopetegui has put together and that, despite Due to the casualties he has had in recent months, he keeps the pulse with Real Madrid for the leadership of the League.

The entry into Newcastle of a financial fund related to the royal family of Saudi Arabia was a significant economic injection in the magpies club, sold to this investment group for about 340 million euros. The new managers of the club, who offered Diego Carlos a five-year contract that almost tripled what he received at Sevilla, made a first proposal for the player rejected in Nervión of 35 million euros. However, he presented a new offensive that is close to 50 million euros plus another 5 in goals, which forced Sevilla to study the situation, very similar to the one they experienced last summer with Koundé, tempted by Chelsea. The Brazilian’s termination clause, which had already been agreed to renew, is 75 million.

The difficulty in finding a substitute in the few days remaining on the market and the historical possibility that Sevilla has of fighting for the League title, plus its presence in the Europa League and the option of playing the final in its stadium, have led the club to reject this proposal. Sevilla, who have taken a step forward with the arrival of Anthony Martial and Tecatito Corona ahead of the second round, also show that ambition by keeping their stars in the team.
