Brazil Defender Stalls Inter Milan Renewal Talks As Roma & Atletico Madrid Show Interest Carlos Augusto has put Inter Milan’s contract renewal offer on hold as he weighs up his options, with Roma and Atletico Madrid both circling the Brazil defender ahead of the summer window. According to reports from Tuttosport, via FCInterNews , Inter have tabled an improved offer, raising his salary from €2. 2 million to €3.

3 million per season. Carlos Augusto has not yet signed a new deal with the Nerazzurri. He wants to assess whether a move elsewhere would offer him the regular starting role he craves.

Roma & Atletico Madrid Circle As Carlos Augusto Weighs Up Inter Future Roma are among those monitoring the situation closely. The Giallorossi want a left-sided option and already had an approach for Atalanta’s Bernasconi rejected, Carlos Augusto fits the profile they need. It is a move that could even see Zeki Celik move in the other direction.

Atletico Madrid also retain an interest. They pursued him last summer and have not abandoned that pursuit. For Inter, the situation is delicate.

Carlos Augusto has been excellent when called upon this season, deputising at left centre-back and filling in at wing-back with equal reliability. Losing him on a free transfer would represent a significant blow, particularly with the defensive rebuild already demanding considerable investment.
