Inter Milan`s Brazilian full-back Carlos Augusto has caught the attention of not only Atletico Madrid but also Arsenal, as both clubs express interest in acquiring the talented player.
Recent reports had already linked Augusto with Atletico Madrid, who were previously considering Milan`s Theo Hernandez. Now, according to FCInterNews.it, Arsenal has also added the 26-year-old to their summer transfer wishlist, after reassessing their defensive needs.
Inter Milan Resolute in Retaining Carlos Augusto
Despite the growing interest from top European clubs, Inter Milan remains firm in their stance to keep Carlos Augusto. The club is expected to resist any offers for the player during the upcoming transfer window.
Augusto joined Inter from Monza in 2023 for a fee of €13.25 million after an initial loan spell. His current contract with the Italian giants runs until June 2028, further strengthening Inter`s position in any potential negotiations.
This season has seen Augusto make an impressive 48 appearances across all competitions for Inter, contributing three goals and seven assists. His versatility has been a key asset, with the ability to play as a left-winger or in central defense.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, or any other suitors can persuade Inter to part ways with their valuable defender.
