According to the Italian press, Bologna manager Domenico Tedesco has made Diego Carlos a primary transfer target. The press also reports that Bologna has initiated efforts to finalize the transfer and that discussions between Fenerbahçe and Bologna are in progress. The player's salary at Fenerbahçe is reported to be the main issue in the transfer. Corriere Dello Sport reports that the Italian club desires to add the defender to their team, but his high salary presents the most significant obstacle. The same report indicates that Fenerbahçe might loan Diego Carlos again, with the club covering a portion of his salary, and notes that he spent last season at Como. Diego Carlos has a contract with Fenerbahçe that runs until 2028, and a decision regarding his future is anticipated once talks are concluded. It is expected that Diego Carlos will sign for Bologna.

Tuttomercato reports that Bologna is interested in acquiring Diego Carlos from Fenerbahçe. The experience of the former Sevilla player is convincing, but his salary of more than three million euros is currently the main obstacle to the transfer.

Serie A club Bologna has initiated action to sign Fenerbahçe's Diego Carlos, considering him a potential replacement if Jhon Lucumi leaves the club. Como, where the Brazilian defender was on loan last season, is also closely monitoring the player's situation.
