Diego Carlos will play for Sevilla tonight against Valencia if he asked to do so after giving Julen Lopetegui his word that he won't cause any disruptions behind the scenes with the La Liga title chasers.
Newcastle United's bid for Carlos is the talk of the dressing room at Sevilla but it isn't being fuelled by the player himself as the story is doing the rounds in the Spanish newspapers after the Magpies upped their bid.
Carlos has notified the club via his representatives that he wants to join Newcastle but as United learned in their unsuccessful pursuit for Unai Emery with Villarreal and the signing of Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid, game day isn't the best time to conduct business in Spain.
