Vasco da Gama has made inquiries about the 33-year-old Brazilian defender Diego Carlos, who is contracted to Fenerbahçe and was on loan at Como last season. The Italian club did not exercise a fixed purchase option, and it is reported that they are interested in retaining the player for a lower fee. Diego Carlos is one of a minimum of four defenders Vasco has inquired about as part of its search for a right-footed player who is strong in the air, though there are currently no advanced situations with any of the targets. The defender, who has never been capped by Brazil, is under contract with Fenerbahçe until June 2028, and his market value is €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
