AS Roma has identified Carlos Augusto, the Brazilian defender from Inter Milan, as their top target for the upcoming summer transfer window. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini has emphasized Augusto's potential to enhance the team's left flank, similar to the role played by Robin Gosens during his tenure at Atalanta. Reports indicate that Roma's interest is intensifying, particularly as Augusto seeks a guaranteed starting position, which he feels he lacks at Inter, where he is seen as a backup to Alessandro Bastoni and Federico Dimarco. Inter Milan had previously offered Augusto a contract extension worth €3.2 million net per season until 2030, but he has yet to sign due to his concerns about playing time. This situation opens the door for Roma to potentially facilitate a swap deal involving Manu Kone, a player Inter has desired for over a year. While other players like Gianluca Mancini and goalkeeper Mile Svilar have been mentioned, Kone remains the primary target for Inter from Roma.
