Sevilla’s director of football Monchi says Diego Carlos had “mental comings and goings” over “very strong” Newcastle offer.
Newcastle United made several bids for Brazilian centre-back Carlos, but despite the 29-year-old reportedly being interested, all the bids were rejected by his club Sevilla, who are second in La Liga.
The reason given was that Carlos is key to Sevilla’s defence, which is the strongest in La Liga, and they did not want to lose him during a title charge.
