Inter Lock Down Carlos Augusto to 2031 After Scoring Winner
Inter Milan are pushing to sign defender Carlos Augusto to a new contract extension that keeps him at the San Siro until June 2031. The Italian club expects to complete the deal within the next fortnight to reward his explosive start to the campaign.
At 27 years old, the versatile defender has established himself as one of the most reliable wide players in Italy.

playerHis surge in form comes on the back of 4 goals and 4 assists from 7 matches across Serie A and the Champions League this season. That haul includes a crucial winner against Shakhtar Donetsk to secure European points.
How Carlos Augusto Fits Inter Milan’s Wide Attack
Operating along the left flank, Carlos Augusto provides constant forward runs and high-quality deliveries into the penalty box. His ability to line up as a left wing-back or cover as a left-sided central defender gives Inter total flexibility when transitioning from defense to attack.
Competition With Alessandro Bastoni and Federico Dimarco
Since joining from Monza, the defender has largely shared minutes behind Alessandro Bastoni and Federico Dimarco. However, his recent goal threat makes it almost impossible for Inter to keep him purely in a rotation role going forward.
Contract Terms Running Through June 2031
Carlos Augusto’s existing contract was set to run until the summer of 2028. Inter are now adding three additional years to that agreement, binding him to the club through 2031.
