As most of you know. I am Spanish. And I am Atletico Supporter who loves Newcastle since I was 13 or 14. I usually follow too much international football and youth tournaments (although every day I have less time). I don't follow him in Brazilian League (He played in Athletico Paranaense) but I started heard about him when Atletico tried to sign in in 2019. Atletico signed his teamate Renan Lodi, and get and buying option for Bruno. Bruno was amazed to go Atletico Madrid, but Atletico had never have the Money (20M per 80%) to get him and the buying option expired. Then, he was signed for OL His firsts months was very hard because he had to acclimatize to Europe, to a new life, to another rythm. But at the end, he improved a lot. He is the typical '5'. We spoke before about Merino, he could be more or less similar. Not so much physical, but very smart with the ball. He could be similar to Ruben Neves

The man has the same agent than Diego Carlos. We did believe Sevilla we want DC but we want Bruno.

And he (Merino) was very young. He is 25yo and get out 4 years ago... He was a baller.

Merino's level just before leaving was very high

Then Tarkowski will relegate with Burnley in may and in june he will be free to sign with the team he want.

Tarkowski is for free in Summer. Probably Burnley prefers to get 8-10 millions (And I think this is much) for him right now than nothing in 5 months

@Trensa Is a Newcastle and Sevilla fan? Or is just a Sevilla fan in the forum because Diego Carlos thread? Trensa, You and me could speak spanish if the mates doesn't matter

I hope we got Senesi. Last time we sign a argentinian raised in San Lorenzo Academy was a great deal.

Now the Spanish League stops. Sevilla's next match is in 11 days. It may be that they have stretched the decision to be able to 'reassemble' the team at this end of the market. The problem for them is that they really only have two centre-backs (Kounde and Diego Carlos). Then there is Rekik, who is the substitute central defender, but who really has a lower level than Diego Carlos and Kounde (and who has also played as a left back). And then there is Gudelj, who is a midfielder who has had to play as a central defender against the short squad. In addition, Kounde has been injured for the last few weeks, so they couldn't afford to sell Diego Carlos 10 or 12 days ago because otherwise they would have had to play with a defense made up of Gudelj and either Rekik or a youth player. I think that in these 5-6 days Diego Carlos can leave, but Sevilla has to sign one (or two) central defenders.

You can ask me this, but really my opinion here is worth little because I know the same as all of us who are here. Anything. But what I do believe is that if Newcastle makes the offer that SKY said before (€45M), Diego Carlos will come.

As i told you, different situations. Kounde was 22 (last summer) and contract until 2024. He probably will be sell next summer, and and he knows and Sevilla too. And, if Sevilla get to coontinue him next season, Kounde knows he still has more than 10 years of career and with his level he get much better options in the future. Diego Carlos is 29 next month and he is in his last option to get the big contract of his career and contract to 2024 too. If you are asking me for the level of Kounde, yes. For me, Kounde was better last season.

I'm sorry, but the world of transfers, renewals and agents works like that. "Hey, there is a team that pays more than double for my player and we have decided to stay, but you are going to have to improve our salary considerably because our cache is now that." It happens every day. And if Sevilla doesn't do it, 'surprisingly' from next season Diego Carlos' level will decrease.

Just to be fair. How much can Sevilla pay to Diego Carlos? He is earning more or less 3M (Gross Salary) per year. Trippier is believe to be earning 9-10M (Gross Salary) per year. The double he earned in Atletico (Atletico is the 7th team in the world with highly salaries). Maybe 5-6M per year for Diego Carlos?? And what is the 'target' for Sevilla in the next Champions League? Round of 16? Diego Carlos is 28 or 29yo. He is in the top moment to get the best (and probably the last) contract in his life. If you are telling me if he stays in Sevilla and Sevilla could have options to win the next UCL I told you 'ok, is normal Diego Carlos want to stay at Sevilla'. But Diego Carlos is going to press to get out because he knows the situation. If Sevilla want him to stay, they have to increase his earns more than double.... And I don't know if it is possible.
