Diego Carlos, born on 15 March 1993 (age 33), is a Brazilian central defender now with Parma. He is an experienced centre-half rather than a prospect, and his profile is built on senior football at a decent level rather than promise still waiting to be cashed in.
His strongest league season came at Sevilla in 2021-22, when he scored three goals in 34 appearances. For a central defender, that is a useful return without needing to pretend goals were ever the main point of the job.
Now at Parma, Diego Carlos carries a current market value of around £9.5m, according to Transfermarkt. His career is that of a seasoned Brazilian defender whose peak league work came in Spain before his move into Italian football.
