Follow the team: Inter Milan regards Augusto as not for sale, but the salary increase and contract extension still need the approval of Oak Tree

Hupu reported on October 14th that Pasquale Guarro, a senior Inter Milan team reporter, reported that Inter Milan management and the agent of Brazilian defender Carlos Augusto have started renewal talks, but to complete the operation, Oak Group will need to make some economic efforts.

Although Augusto's current contract does not expire until 2028, his annual salary is only 2.5 million euros after tax. The player agent team has made a request to the club, hoping to keep the income level of the players at the same position in the team, because Augusto's role in Inter Milan is the same as that of the main force. Considering his outstanding performance in joining Ilas, his salary should obviously be adjusted to match the level of players of the same level in the team.

At present, Inter Milan's top priority is still on the field. After the national team match day, they will face strong opponents continuously. The club does not want the players to be distracted. However, the management is also dealing with contract renewal issues, including Augusto. The two sides have had one or two positive talks in the past few weeks. Inter Milan is willing to adjust Augusto's salary, but under the control of Oak Group , must follow some financial logic that is not easy to handle (for example, players over 30 years old will not receive a salary increase, and some players will even be asked to reduce their salary when renewing their contracts), because this American capital believes that Inter Milan’s current total salary is still high, and any salary increase and renewal must take into account the overall financial framework, and some high-paid and inefficient players need to be freed up to maintain balance of payments.

Although the two parties only had preliminary contact, they will continue talks soon. In fact, Inter Milan resolutely refused to sell him this summer. Atletico Madrid once prepared an offer, but Inter Milan not only refused, but was not even willing to listen, and directly listed Augusto as not for sale. This is why this contract extension is of great significance to both parties.
