Aston Villa could allow defender Diego Carlos to leave this month, sources have told Football Insider.
Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce are interested in the 31-year-old, who was linked with a departure during the summer.
Fulham were keen on Carlos but have now cooled their interest, with the Turkish giants now the frontrunners to sign him.
The Villa star could be allowed to leave by Unai Emery and his transfer team if he receives a suitable offer before the February 3 deadline.
Tyron Mings is back after missing the past two games with a foot injury, recovering from a serious knee injury.
Carlos has played in 17 games in all competitions this term, starting 14 of them.
