Newcastle Unitedꦇ have launched a fresh, improved bid fo♛r Diego Carlos, according to .

The outlet claims the Magpies opened with an offer of just under £30million, which Sevilla turne𒉰d down.

Now, Newcastle have reportedly com🥂e back with a £33million bid in hope of landing Carlos.

However, claims the Spaniꦜsh outfit wants in excess of £40million fo🦩r the Brazilian.

That said, Newcastle appear to have received a boost in that Carlos is apparently open to joini🍷ng the Magpies this month.

Sevilla are flying high in La Liga, sitting second🔴 in the table and boasting an incredible ce𝔉ntre-back partnership in Carlos and Jules Kounde.

Predictably, they don’t want to split this p𒁃artnership up mid-season with so much at st🍌ake.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have♈ concerns of their own at the opposi🌜te end of the table, battling Premier League relegation.

If the Magpi𝕴es can land the 28-year-old, they’d have a truly world-class defender at their disposal.

Can Newcastle land “dynamic, intense, fast” defender?

In 2019-20, Sevilla won the Europa League, beatin﷽g Manchester United along th🌱e way in the semi-final.

Owen Hargreaves told BT Sport: “I thi♔nk Sevilla have the best centre-bac🥂k, the most underrated centre-back, in European football in Diego Carlos.

“I think ꦆhe is a fabulous player, Brazilian, (then) 27, is rugged, can compete, really good player.

“I think 🌌after this game everyone’s going to: ‘🧸How come Chelsea or Arsenal don’t sign these players?’.”

Last year, Liver💝pool boss Jurgen Klopp was reportedly eyeing Carlos.

And Fabiano Soares, his former coach at Estoril, also sung his praises, in convers⛄ation with .

“He is very fast. That is why Kl🎃opp should keep an eye on him,” he said.

“He is a dynamic, intense, fast player.”
