Newcastle linked with a move for Monza left-back Carlos Augusto
Newcastle United are setting their sights on securing the talents of Carlos Augusto, who currently shines as a star player for Monza. With an impressive background, having played 32 official games and scoring a goal for Corinthians, as well as winning the Campeonato Paulista twice in 2018 and 2019, Carlos is undoubtedly a promising talent in Brazilian football.
At just 24 years of age, Carlos has already made a name for himself as a versatile player, primarily occupying the position of left-back, but also displaying the ability to excel as a centre-back in both a four-man and three-man defense. His performances have not gone unnoticed, as he was even included in the Brazil U20 squad for the prestigious 2019 South American U-20 Championship.
Carlos made the move to Monza in the summer of 2020 from Corinthians for a transfer fee of 4 million euros, and his impact at the Italian club has been significant. In the current season, he has featured in 29 official games, impressively scoring five goals and providing five assists, showcasing his attacking prowess from a defensive position. As a result, scouts from various clubs across Europe have been closely monitoring his performances, with his Transfermarkt value now estimated at 8 million euros.
