Inter and Carlos Augusto are still a long way apart in talks over a new contract, despite the defender’s excellent start to the season.
According to Tuttosport, via CalcioMercato, both sides have broadly agreed to extend his deal from June 2028 to June 2031, but they remain divided on salary. The 27-year-old earns €2.5m net a season plus bonuses, and he turned down Inter’s first offer of €3.3m plus add-ons. He wants around €5m.
Carlos Augusto’s Inter contract talks
Carlos Augusto believes his performances under Cristian Chivu deserve a salary closer to those of the senior players in the squad. He’s using Alessandro Bastoni, who earns €5.5m, and Federico Dimarco, who’s on €5.2m and also wants a raise, as benchmarks.
The Brazilian has scored four goals in 12 games this season, playing both on the left of a back three and as an alternative to Dimarco at wing-back. His form has also earned him a call-up to the Brazil squad.
Inter need to settle the situation quickly, because clubs in Italy and abroad are ready to pounce. He’s one of several renewals on the Nerazzurri’s agenda, along with Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Dimarco and Marcus Thuram.
