Inter Milan are close to securing a major contract renewal for Brazilian defender Carlos Augusto.

According to reports from FCInterNews, the 1999-born full-back from Campinas has been a revelation this year, showcasing remarkable versatility under both Simone Inzaghi and Cristian Chivu.

Originally an option on the left, Carlos Augusto has adapted seamlessly to multiple roles, including left-back, central defender, and, following Denzel Dumfries’ injury, as a right-sided midfielder.

His ability to perform reliably across these positions has earned recognition from the coaching staff and the Inter hierarchy alike.

The club has been in discussions with his representatives for some time, and sources indicate that an agreement is now close.

Under his current deal, Carlos Augusto earns €2.2 million net per season until 2028.

The proposed renewal would extend his contract to 2030 and increase his salary to €3 million per season, reflecting Inter’s appreciation for his growing importance.

Carlos Augusto’s rise this season exemplifies how a player can transition from a squad backup to a crucial multi-role option.

His adaptability has allowed Chivu to experiment with formations and rotations, particularly during periods affected by injuries to key personnel.

The club’s move to secure him long-term underscores their belief in his potential to remain a cornerstone of Inter’s defensive and midfield setup.

With the renewal almost finalized, Carlos Augusto will continue to be a trusted figure in the Nerazzurri squad.

Indeed, combining tactical flexibility with consistent performances as Inter look to maintain their competitiveness both domestically and in Europe.
