Aston Villa defender Diego Carlos’ protracted move to Fenerbahce is stalling amid new concerns the deal is in danger of falling through.
Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho has placed Carlos towards the top of his January shopping list and positive talks have taken place.
But it is understood the transfer is yet to be signed off by Fenerbahce, despite an agreement being within reach, and could now collapse owing to hesitation from the Turkish giants.
Mourinho has been under a degree of pressure at the Istanbul-based club, who are currently eight points behind leaders Galatasaray.
