Inter man Carlos Augusto finds form & renewal talks on the table after Kairat winner

Carlos Augusto’s thunderous strike against Kairat may have been worth far more than three points, it symbolised his resurgence at Inter and came just as the club reopened talks to extend his contract.

After a few frustrating weeks watching from the bench, the Brazilian has reclaimed his place and confidence, rewarded for his professionalism and adaptability.

Nerazzurri head coach Cristian Chivu had challenged him to rediscover the attacking instincts that made him stand out at Monza, urging him to take more risks from range.

This was advice that paid off spectacularly with the decisive goal at San Siro.

The 26-year-old has impressed in two consecutive starts, first as a wing-back against Verona and then as a left-sided centre-back against Kairat, underlining his tactical flexibility.

His composed performances have restored calm after a spell of tension and highlighted his growing importance within the squad.

Talks over a new deal are progressing positively, with both sides optimistic about reaching an agreement soon, according to reports from CalcioMercato.

Even in training, Chivu’s staff have been pleasantly surprised by the renewed sharpness and focus the Brazilian has shown, a reminder of why Inter view him as a key piece for the future.
