Fenerbahce have completed the signing of centre-back Diego Carlos from Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee.

The 31-year-old Brazilian, who joined Villa from Sevilla in 2022, has agreed to a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Turkish club.

Reports suggest that Fenerbahce have paid 10 million euros (£8.45m) for Carlos.

Villa expressed their well wishes to the defender, stating, “We would like to wish Diego good luck in his new professional chapter.”

Carlos made 58 appearances for Villa, scoring once. He has not been included in the squad for Villa’s last five matches.

Fenerbahce, managed by Jose Mourinho, are currently second in the Turkish Super Lig, trailing leaders Galatasaray by six points.
