BVB talent Inacio: top club wanted to poach him | OneFootball

Samuele Inacio remains one of BVB’s young talents with international appeal. New details have now emerged about a summer approach: Juventus are said to have worked concretely on signing the 18-year-old.

That comes from a statement by Fabrizio Romano. The journalist reports that the Italian record champions tried to lure the youngster away from Dortmund. “Juventus like him a lot, Juventus tried to sign Samuele Inacio,” Romano said on his YouTube show Cronache di Spogliatoio.

According to the report, the Turin club had already made contact with Dortmund over the matter. In the end, however, they went in a different direction in attack: Juventus signed Italian striker Jeff Ekhator from Genoa CFC for €16.4 million.

Even so, Inacio is said to have remained a topic in Turin. Inter Milan also continue to keep tabs on the forward, who holds both Italian and Brazilian passports. Even Bayern are monitoring him.

As mentioned, Bayern Munich have also been in the background for quite some time. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, the Munich club had already been looking at Inacio before his move from Atalanta Bergamo’s youth setup.

The youngster is even said to have been in Munich in 2024 before deciding on Dortmund. Bayern’s interest is reportedly more likely to become relevant again next summer rather than in winter. Arsenal and Manchester United have also been mentioned as possible destinations.

Why BVB are backing Inacio

On the sporting side, Inacio has had limited first-team minutes so far this season. On the opening Bundesliga matchday against HSV, he was shown a red card just a few minutes after coming on and was suspended for two matches. The response was immediate: in the DFB-Pokal against HEBC, Niko Kovac put him in the starting lineup, and Inacio scored twice in the 5–0 win.

Despite the growing attention, there is no sign of an imminent departure. Inacio’s contract with BVB runs until 2029. On Friday, the forward could earn his second cap for Italy in the Nations League match against Belgium.
