# Diego Carlos transfer negotiations > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/diego-carlos-transfer-negotiations > Updated: 2026-09-03T20:00:23.000Z. Sources: 12. Developments: 5. Brazilian defender Diego Carlos, currently with Fenerbahçe, has been the subject of transfer negotiations involving several clubs. Initially, reports indicated the 33-year-old was nearing a one-year loan move to the Italian club Parma, a development that reportedly disrupted the transfer plans of the Brazilian side Vasco da Gama. However, the situation shifted as Carlos prioritized a return to Italy with Como, a club where he previously spent the second half of the last season. Despite interest from Parma and high-budget offers from Saudi Arabia, Carlos reached a personal agreement with Como. Manager Cesc Fabregas expressed strong interest in the center-back, and negotiations between Fenerbahçe and Como entered the final stages to resolve the deal. Fenerbahçe and Como have now reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of the 33-year-old. This full transfer is intended to assist Fenerbahçe in managing its foreign player quota regulations. The official announcement remains contingent upon Como’s squad restructuring; the deal is expected to be finalized once Como defender Alberto Dossena completes his transfer to Parma. Ultimately, the move to Como failed to materialize before the transfer window closed. Parma secured a deal with Fenerbahçe for the defender, who was expected to undergo medical examinations. The move was finalized as a loan deal without an option to buy, arriving in the final hours of the transfer window. Carlos joins Parma to provide veteran leadership to their young squad following his previous Serie A experience with Como. ## Claims - Parma is monitoring Matteo Cancellieri for a potential return to the club.
