Diego Carlos nears loan move to Parma

Diego Carlos is nearing a move to Italian club Parma on a one-year loan from Fenerbahçe. The 33-year-old defender has reportedly given his consent to the deal, and Parma is currently finalizing terms with the Turkish club.

The potential transfer disrupts the plans of the Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, which had identified the defender as a primary target to strengthen their backline for the second half of the season. Vasco's interest was hindered by high salary demands and competition from European clubs. Following this development, Vasco is expected to seek alternative defensive options within the South American or domestic markets.
