Inter is preparing to start negotiations for the contract extension of Carlos Augusto. The Brazilian, whose agreement expires in 2028, is considered a valuable asset for the Nerazzurri squad. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, a meeting between the club and the player’s representatives to discuss the renewal is imminent.
The versatility of the South American full-back represents a fundamental added value for Cristian Chivu. The coach mainly deploys him as a left-sided center-back in the three-man defense, but when needed, the player can move up a few meters and cover other roles. It is precisely this versatility, combined with his total dedication to the cause regardless of his position on the pitch, that fuels the mutual desire to continue together. The renewal would be recognition of his specific weight in the team’s economy, even though he is not considered an undisputed starter.
Whenever called upon, Augusto always delivers. The start of this season has clearly demonstrated this: coming off the bench in the Champions League, he scored Inter’s only goal at the Bernabeu, while against Napoli he provided one of the assists in the comeback after coming on during the match. As a starter against Udinese, he scored the goal that sparked the comeback after the two goals from the Friulians. Performances that certify his reliability and his concrete contribution to the team.
