Carlos Augusto rejecting Inter contract renewal
Serie A league leaders Inter are facing an uphill battle in their attempt to hand Carlos Augusto a new deal. There is even a possibility of them losing the Brazilian in the summer.
The wing-back was an important part of the side under Simone Inzaghi last season. Under Cristian Chivu, his prominence has reduced and this is making him reconsider his future.
Pasquale Guarro reports his ongoing season has impacted the possibility of playing for Brazil at the World Cup. This has caused frustration and even if Inter have put forward a renewal worth €3.2m per season. His entourage rejected this, as they wait to see which clubs qualify for the Champions League.
Augusto wants to play in the competition before he commits to a club. That is why he is keen on seeing how the league table evolves. He is also monitoring Alessandro Bastoni’s situation as if he leaves, Augusto can fill in easily at left centre-back and act as a replacement for the Italian.
Inter have reacted to this by having a private meeting with the wing-back and they follow up on those discussions in the next few weeks.
