Top clubs are already circling: BVB battle for their next gem | OneFootball

After his impressive full debut in the starting lineup, Samuele Inacio is drawing even more attention at BVB. Borussia Dortmund want to tie down the top talent long term, but apparently face strong competition.

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly already working on their next contract extension and have another highly promising talent in their sights. After players such as Nico Schlotterbeck, Felix Nmecha, Emre Can, and Luca Reggiani extended their contracts in recent months, attacking player Samuele Inacio is now also set to be tied down for the long term.

According to Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira, Dortmund are planning to extend the 18-year-old’s current deal, which runs until 2027, ahead of schedule. The new contract could keep the forward at BVB until 2030, and talks are said to already be underway.

Inacio recently drew attention with his first start in the 4-0 win over SC Freiburg. The young Italian was on the pitch for 74 minutes, showed plenty of energy, and was involved in several dangerous attacking moves. Head coach Niko Kovac was also full of praise afterwards: “The kid had a great debut today. He did really well,” the BVB coach told DAZN, adding: “We’re going to enjoy watching this boy. He’s a huge talent.”

BVB’s strong faith in Inacio’s development is also reflected in his performances so far. Across a total of 29 appearances for the youth teams and the senior side, the attacking player has scored ten goals and provided two assists. Internally, the belief is that he can go on to play a key role in the team—whether in attacking midfield or as a second striker.

However, the situation is not without risk for Dortmund. Several top European clubs are reportedly keeping a close eye on the talent’s development. Alongside FC Barcelona, transfer insider Gianluca Di Marzio says Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are also interested and could try to convince Inacio to make a move.

There is also some uncertainty over whether a follow-up contract beyond 2027 already exists, as was reported at one stage. Regardless, one thing seems clear: BVB want to act early to avoid losing their attacking jewel to international competition. Whether Inacio decides to commit his long-term future to Dortmund could become clear in the coming weeks.
