The call-up to the Brazilian national team with Ancelotti has put the seal on a growth that Inter had already registered week after week. Carlos Augusto is no longer considered just an alternative, and the club has decided to recognize this new status with a contract renewal accompanied by a significant economic adjustment. This is reported by Corriere dello Sport.

The negotiation has entered its decisive phase: Marotta and Baccin intend to finalize the agreement with the Brazilian’s entourage, extending the contract until June 30, 2031. The main issue concerns the division between fixed and variable components. According to the newspaper, the total salary package should exceed 4 million euros per year, also benefiting from the tax breaks provided by the Growth Decree, valid until 2029.

What makes the Brazilian indispensable is his versatility: he can play as a left center-back in a back three or as a wide wing-back, offering Chivu different solutions without altering the team’s balance. In recent weeks, his performances in both the league and the Champions League have confirmed that his contribution goes far beyond that of a deputy to Bastoni or Dimarco.

The extension of Carlos Augusto anticipates a series of other open dossiers at the Nerazzurri club. In the coming weeks, the club intends to address the situation of Calhanoglu, whose contract expires in 2027, with the aim of reaching an agreement by the end of the year. For Dimarco, Bastoni, Thuram, and Akanji, whose contracts expire in 2028, talks will be postponed to the new year, as will matters related to Stones, Pavard, and Zielinski.

In the background, there is also a personal story that has fueled his growth. The missed call-up for the last World Cup motivated Carlos Augusto to intensify his work during the summer, showing up at the start of the season in the best possible condition. The results have been visible: consistency, crucial goals, and growing confidence from the coaching staff. The renewal until 2031 would formally confirm a status earned on the field, match after match.
