Vasco agree wages with Diego Carlos but face competition from Como | OneFootball

Vasco have agreed wage terms with Diego Carlos for the remainder of the season, and the 31-year-old wants a return to Brazilian football. The move now faces competition from Como, who have stepped in to try to hijack it.

According to Italian journalist Nico Schira, Como have opened direct talks with Fenerbahçe, who hold the defender’s rights. Diego Carlos spent last season on loan at Como, who are pushing to make the stay permanent and rival Vasco’s project.

Despite that progress, Vasco must navigate Fenerbahçe’s firm stance. The relationship between the Turkish club and the Brazilian has been strained, heightened after he posted images relaxing in a hotel while the team faced Sturm Graz of Austria, displeasing figures in Istanbul.

Vasco intend to sign him only if he secures a free release. The Rio club have offered him an undisputed starting role and leadership of the back line.

At Como he had been viewed largely as depth, a view that could shift given the new Italian push.

The race for his signature remains open between Brazil and Europe in the coming hours. Vasco are waiting on an amicable termination in Türkiye. The outcome rests on the player choosing between São Januário prominence and staying in Italy.
