Diego Carlos Santos Silva

Diego Carlos Santos Silva, or simply Diego Carlos, is a Brazilian professional defender who plays for Spanish club Sevilla FC.

Diego began his senior career with Desportivo Brasil in the 2012–13 season. On 1 January 2013, Diego was sent out on loan to São Paulo.

Diego spent the latter portion of the 2013–14 season out on loan at Paulista. He also spent about a month out on loan at Madureira.

On 2 July 2014, Diego was sold to Estoril. In September 2014, Diego was loaned to FC Porto. He only played for the B team.

In June 2016, it was announced Diego Carlos would join FC Nantes on a five-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Estoril was estimated at €2 million.

On 14 January 2018, during a Ligue 1 match between Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain, referee Tony Chapron appeared to kick Diego following a collision, before sending him off for a second bookable offense. Chapron, who was suspended by the French Football Federation, admitted his mistake and asked for Diego Carlos' second yellow card to be rescinded. As a result, the French football league withdrew the second yellow card.

On 31 May 2019, Spanish club Sevilla FC announced they had reached an agreement with Nantes for the transfer of Diego Carlos.
