  • Recruited a year ago by Sevilla FC for 15 million euros, Diego Carlos, the former Nantes, is of interest to European leaders.
  • In case of resale of the player, the Nantes management could pocket another tidy sum.

A nice check coming up for Waldemar Kita? Thanks to whom ? To Diego Carlos, made famous for being tackled on a Sunday evening in January 2018 by referee Tony Chapron. The Nantes president must closely follow the development of the career of his former defender (from 2016 to 2019). And for good reason: the Brazilian (27 years old), who has signed up for Sevilla FC and author of a full season in La Liga (35 starts), is dredged by many European leaders. His eventual departure could bring a small bonanza to the Nantes management.

According to information from 20 Minutes , the FCN would receive 10% of the capital gain on the possible transfer of Diego Carlos, that is to say 10% of the difference between the price at which Nantes sold him to Seville ( 15 million euros) and the price at which it could be purchased this summer.

FCN touched for Sevilla's qualifying for the European Cup

A few days ago, according to The Telegraph , we learned that Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, had made it a priority for the defense of the Citizens. We also lend to Bayern Munich, Liverpool or Tottenham, a strong desire to secure the services of the one who was recruited in 2016, in particular by the late recruiting cell (Monterrubio-Ayache), for only 1.5 million euros (from Estoril in Portugal)!

Today, difficult to assess the price of Diego Carlos, but in Spain, some Iberian media have mentioned a release clause of the Brazilian to ... 70 million euros! Other sites estimate its market value at 30 million euros. In the meantime, Nantes has already touched "a bonus [of which 20 Minutes ignores the amount] linked to qualification for the European Cup [Champions League] in Seville," according to a person close to this file.
