Inter and Carlos Augusto are in the final stages of talks over a new contract until 2031, with the reported extension close to being signed in the coming days. Sky Sport Italia says the agreement should be completed soon, while the deal has moved from background noise to a live contract story because of his start to the season.

Carlos Augusto's form this season

The output is hard to ignore. Carlos Augusto has 4 goals and 3 assists in 12 appearances across all competitions this season, a return that gives Inter a straightforward reason to keep him tied down for the long term. In Serie A he has 2 goals and 2 assists in 9 appearances, while in the Champions League he has 2 goals in 3 appearances.

Sky Sport Italia described him as a player whose performances are “always above pass marks” and “a real joker on the flank, capable of handling different roles and situations”. That versatility matters at a club where Luís Henrique and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are also part of the wider squad picture, but this is not just about coverage. Carlos Augusto has given Inter end product from the left side, and the club are acting like a team that wants to keep that in place.

The only real dispute is whether the deal is already done or still being worked through. The safest line is that it is close, not closed, and Inter now expect the renewal to land quickly.

Inter's contract picture

The club's willingness to move quickly fits the way they have handled other core pieces. Inter have also activated a separate automatic extension clause for Federico Dimarco until 2028, with later talks possible beyond that, so the left side is clearly an area they want settled. The Carlos Augusto renewal sits in that same lane, with form and continuity pulling in the same direction.

A formal announcement has not arrived yet, but the deadline has tightened. If the talks finish as expected, Inter will have a key left-sided option locked in until 2031 before the season moves into its next stretch.
