Inter Milan wingback Carlos Augusto has reportedly generated interest from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid.
Per Sportitalia via FCInter1908, Diego Simeone has placed a watchful eye on the ex-Monza star.
After Atletico’s pursuit of AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez hit a brick wall, Los Colchoneros have turned their attention elsewhere.
With the Frenchman set to join Simone Inzaghi at Al-Hilal, Simeone has shifted his focus to alternative targets.
Therefore, Carlos Augusto is the next name on the Argentine’s shortlist.
Atletico Madrid Weigh Up Audacious Move for Inter Milan Ace Carlos Augusto
The 26-year-old has emerged as a viable option for the Madrid outfit.
However, it appears Inter Milan are reluctant to negotiate.
Things could’ve been different had Inzaghi stayed at the helm, given Augusto’s limited game time under former management.
But Cristian Chivu’s arrival has signaled a U-turn, with the Brazilian becoming a significant cog in the machine.
Indeed, Chivu has already shown his trust in the versatile defender at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Deemed ‘untouchable,’ Augusto has been among Inter’s most regular players in the first two rounds.
he rarely gets injuries, the best backup for basto and dima, is consistent performer. actually dude has everything
Augusto looked pretty reliable on the leftback so I can see why other team might want to go for him. I think Chivu will need him this season since there are few injuries and off form players in the squad (unless bif money offers arrive).
