Milan make contact for Aston Villaโ€™s Diego Carlos

Serie A giants Milan are interested in Aston Villaโ€™s Diego Carlos and have made contact for the Brazilian defender.

The 31-year-old is currently finding himself at the peripheries of the project at Aston Villa and Milan want to take advantage of his current situation. Daniele Longo has reported that Carlos has now become part of Milanโ€™s shortlist of centre-back targets and first contact has already been made.

Geoffrey Moncada is keen on the 31-year-old and is impressed by his marking, heading and physical abilities. Contacts are said to be very much in progress but a potential move has been described as a fairly complex one. Villa had signed the defender for โ‚ฌ31 million and they want to recoup that fee, if they sell the player.

While the move isnโ€™t impossible, it has been described as โ€˜difficultโ€™ and it can be executed. Contacts are taking place with the playerโ€™s entourage and not with Villa โ€“ yet.
