Inter initiates contract extension talks with defender Carlos Augusto

Inter has begun discussions with Carlos Augusto regarding a contract extension beyond his current 2028 expiry. The club moved to solidify his future following interest from Juventus and two Spanish teams during the summer transfer window. Augusto played a role in the club's 3-2 victory over Napoli earlier this season, demonstrating versatility by featuring at centre-back and right wing-back. Initial contact has been made with the player's representatives to avoid future uncertainty, with internal sentiment suggesting the process is moving in a positive direction. Augusto previously indicated a preference to remain at Inter, which influenced the club's decision to open formal renewal talks. A meeting between management and the player's entourage is scheduled to take place soon to finalize details of the new deal.
