Borussia Dortmund has made a name for itself as a talent factory in recent years – and has apparently once again proven to have a keen eye. With Luca Reggiani, Samuele Inácio, and Mathis Alber, three highly talented players are under contract, who are expected to make the leap to the professional level in the future. Particularly noteworthy: According to Sport BILD, the trio cost BVB only a training compensation of around 100,000 euros.

The furthest along is currently Luca Reggiani. The 18-year-old central defender joined Dortmund from US Sassuolo in February 2024 and has significantly increased his market value since then. He already has four professional appearances to his name, having started once each in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

Reggiani is contractually bound until 2027. However, BVB officials want to secure his future early and are planning an extension until at least 2030. A corresponding offer is reportedly already on the table for the Italian. Given his development, this would be a logical step.

Inácio Gaining Initial Experience

Samuele Inácio is still a step away from a major breakthrough but is also highly regarded internally. The 17-year-old striker moved from Atalanta Bergamo to Dortmund in the summer of 2024. Although he is still waiting for his professional debut, he regularly trains under Niko Kovac and has already been included once in the Champions League squad and three times in the Bundesliga squad.

According to Sport BILD, Inácio has a long-term follow-up contract that extends beyond 2027 – a clear sign that BVB is firmly planning with him.

Alber Firmly Planned for the Future

Mathis Alber is also considered a promising project. The 16-year-old winger joined Dortmund from the Los Angeles Galaxy Academy in the summer of 2024. He has already made it into the Bundesliga squad once, although he has yet to make an appearance.

Internally, Alber is expected to join the professional team permanently from the coming season. Like Inácio, he also reportedly has a long-term follow-up contract.

With minimal financial effort, BVB has secured three highly interesting talents. If even one of them makes a full breakthrough, the deal would already be a complete success.
