Aston Villa Manager: “We Tried to Keep Diego Carlos, but He Chose Fenerbahçe”

After Aston Villa’s 1-1 draw with West Ham in the English Premier League, manager Unai Emery shared his thoughts in a post-match interview.

“WE DIDN’T WANT HIM TO LEAVE, BUT…”

Speaking about Diego Carlos’ transfer to Fenerbahçe, Emery said: “We didn’t want Diego Carlos to leave, but he accepted the offer from Fenerbahçe. We are now trying to bring in a center-back to replace him.”

DIEGO CARLOS MADE HIS DEBUT

Fenerbahçe’s new signing Diego Carlos made his debut for the yellow-and-navy team in their 3-2 victory against Göztepe.

Transferred from England’s Aston Villa, the 31-year-old player started the match on the bench and came on in the 88th minute, replacing Youssef En-Nesyri.
