Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Brazil centre-back Diego Carlos from Sevilla for £26m.
The 29-year-old, who Newcastle United tried to sign in January, will travel to England on Thursday for a medical and to finalise personal terms.
He would be Villa’s second signing of the summer following the arrival of Boubacar Kamara from Marseille on a free transfer.
Carlos played six times at last year’s Tokyo Olympics where Brazil won gold.
