Atletico Madrid have identified Inter Milan defender Carlos Augusto as a primary summer transfer target to address ongoing concerns at the left-back position ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
Atletico Madrid are reportedly eyeing a move for Inter’s Carlos Augusto as Diego Simeone looks to strengthen his defensive flanks.
With Javi Galan departing for Osasuna in January and Matteo Ruggeri experiencing a mixed debut season, the Brazilian-born defender has emerged as a key candidate.
Augusto’s possession of an Italian passport is a significant advantage, as he would not occupy a non-EU squad spot.
The 27-year-old currently serves as a backup to Federico Dimarco at the San Siro and is reportedly open to a move to secure a starting role.
With only two years remaining on his Inter deal and “no desire to renew,” the Italian club may look to cash in this summer.
Atletico could secure the defender for a reduced price as they continue their squad overhaul.
