Report – Inter Milan Keen To Renew Brazil Wingback’s Contract But Player “Takes Time” To Assess His Options | OneFootball

Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly looking to tie star wingback Carlos Augusto down to a new long-term contract.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, negotiations are on hold as the player ‘took time’ to assess his options.

Though the Nerazzurri are ready to offload several defenders this summer, Carlos Augusto is not part of that group.

Indeed, the former Monza star has been reliable ever since joining the club in the summer of 2023.

However, he has not always been Cristian Chivu’s first option this season, making just 13 Serie A starts so far.

Inter Milan Looking to Renew Carlos Augusto Contract

Augusto’s versatility allows him to cover multiple positions at the back.

Though he is primarily a left-back, the 27-year-old has often excelled as a center-back in the absence of Alessandro Bastoni.

With the Italian’s future at San Siro hanging by a thread, Inter are keen to secure Augusto’s services for the long term.

However, the player has taken time to evaluate his current situation, said the report.

Augusto’s current deal runs until 2028, so there’s no immediate urgency to rush into a renewal.

Still, Inter would ideally sort out Augusto’s future sooner rather than later to avoid any uncertainty going into the summer.
