Diego Carlos has come a long way from his humble beginnings to having a net worth that is currently estimated at $3 million. He made his net worth from his incredible career as a footballer. He is said to currently receive a salary of £40,000 per week. This means that each year, his salary is around £2,080,000.

While his salaries and other earnings have added to his fortune, he has also made significant money from his numerous endorsement deals with top brands including Adidas and Nike at different points.

Interesting Facts To Know About The Footballer

1. Diego once sold ice cream

While life may look all rosy for him at the moment, it has not always been this way for the Sevilla defender. Growing up in a family that was living below the middle class, he had to struggle to make ends meet. He did various odd jobs including assembling furniture, picking coffee beans, and selling ice cream.

2. His talent paved the way for him when he had no money

At only 12, Diego Carlos had already shown all the signs of becoming a good player. He was encouraged to go for training and he went after borrowing boots. Although he left a good impression of the coaches who admitted him, he let go of the admission because he was supposed to pay a fee and he had no money for that.

When the coaches heard of this, they decided to waive the salary for him thanks to his talent, and that was how he started.

3. Carlos has attracted the interest of some big clubs

Although his current contract with Sevilla is expected to last till 2024 and there are already talks of the club extending his stay, the strong defender has attracted the interest of many clubs including Chelsea as Thomas Tuchel believes he can add to the team. Other clubs that have shown interest in the defender are Roma, Liverpool, and Tottenham among others.
