Inter and Carlos Augusto far apart: the defender targets €5 million

Inter and Carlos Augusto are still far apart in negotiations for a new contract, despite the defender's excellent start to the season. The club needs to close the deal quickly, as other Italian and foreign clubs are ready to intervene.

Salary demand

According to Tuttosport, via CalcioMercato, the parties have agreed to extend the contract from June 2028 to June 2031, but they remain divided over the salary. The player, 27, receives €2.5 million net per season plus bonuses, has rejected the initial offer of €3.3 million plus incentives and is asking for around €5 million.

MADRID, SPAIN – SEPTEMBER 08: Inter's Carlos Augusto celebrated the team's first goal in the UEFA Champions League 2026/27 League Phase MD1 against Real Madrid C.F. in Madrid, Spain, on 8 September 2026.

The defender believes that his performances under the guidance of Cristian Chivu deserve a salary close to that of the starters, citing Alessandro Bastoni (€5.5 million) and Federico Dimarco (€5.2 million), who are also seeking raises.

The Brazilian has scored four goals in twelve matches this season, alternating between the role of left‑back in a three‑man defence and that of wing‑back, and has earned a call‑up to the Brazil national team.

Inter also needs to resolve other renewals on its agenda, including those of Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Dimarco and Marcus Thuram.
