Emery wants to strengthen his defense

Unai EmeryThe first order of business in the January transfer window was to bring in a new striker, and with the deal with Donyella Malena complete, the manager turned his attention to strengthening his back line.

The Villans are looking to strengthen at full-back, with Celta’s right-back from Vigo Oscar Mingueza is believed to be interestingwhile they are also closely monitoring Marco Pubillo from UD Almeria, whose release clause is €40m (£34m).

As for the defenders, one of Villa’s main targets is Sevilla’s Loic Badeand now they have taken the first steps towards reaching an agreement, opening negotiations with the Spanish side.

However, in order to facilitate the signing of Bade, Aston Villa may need to create some space in the squad, and one player heavily linked with a move away is Diego Carlos.

Carlos was reportedly in talks over a deal to join Fenerbahce a few days ago, and Fabrizio Romano has now published new information about the Brazilian’s future.

Speaking on Xu, the transfer expert confirmed this Galatasaray have now contacted Villa to discuss a deal for Carloswanting to beat their Turkish rivals to the defender’s signature.

Reports from other places stated 100 thousand pounds a week The Brazilian could be used as part of a replacement for Bade, but Romano has confirmed that such a move is not being considered.

Carlos needs to be started

Although the former Sevilla player has featured regularly this season when fit, he has again been hampered by injuries and is likely now approaching the later stages of his career, given that he will be 32 by the end of the season. season.

As such, it is the right decision to move Carlos on, in order to make room in the squad for the much younger Bade, who has performed better in a number of key metrics over the past year.

As shown, Bade’s defensive performances have been very impressive, so it is promising news that Villa are taking concrete steps towards securing his signature.

Carlos has impressed at times in a Villa shirt, after being praised as “physically imposing” in the past, but it’s no great shame that his time at the club is coming to an end.
