The Villans have had an inconsistent season so far and are sitting ninth in the Premier League table.
Unai Emery has struggled to bring the best out of his players in every fixture, seemingly due to the packed schedule this term.
Carlos has found himself in and out of the team this season, making 17 appearances in all competitions.
The Lions have looked to rely on Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres as their preferred centre-back pairing.
Tyrone Mings has returned after an extended period on the sidelines and has put in some decent performances in the current campaign.
Kortney Hause is another central defender contracted to the Birmingham club but is nowhere to be seen.
Aston Villa still have many important fixtures to come in the Champions League and are only six points behind fourth-place Chelsea in the league table.
Carlos might not be the first name on the team sheet, but the former Sevilla star provides depth to the Lions’ squad.
Emery needs reinforcements in January rather than exits, and the Villans should postpone selling Carlos until the summer.
