Deal until 2030 and pay rise – Inacio sees his future at BVB | OneFootball

The €50,000 Borussia Dortmund invested in the summer of 2024 to lure Samuele Inacio away from Atalanta Bergamo’s youth academy could still pay off handsomely for the club. The market value of the 18-year-old Italian has long since multiplied, and after making his Bundesliga starting debut last Sunday against SC Freiburg (4-0), the trend continues to point sharply upward. Aware of that, and also of the interest from other clubs, BVB now want to tie the youngster down to a long-term deal as soon as possible.

At present, Inacio is only under contract in Dortmund until June 30, 2027, and is reportedly being monitored by, among others, FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. BVB would even like to keep the Italian U19 international, who could still opt for the now very attentive Brazilian federation because of his roots, for longer than Luca Reggiani, who has also earned his first professional stripes this season and signed a contract until 2029. The plan is for Inacio to be tied down until 2030, naturally with a significant pay rise.

BVB’s plan appears to be well received. According to information from Ruhr Nachrichten, Inacio sees his future at Borussia and wants to develop into an important player for BVB — including the prospect of playing regularly at Signal Iduna Park and, in the best-case scenario, being celebrated by the Yellow Wall.

Talks expected soon

Because interest from other clubs is unlikely to diminish with every appearance and strong performance like the one against Freiburg, and because more aggressive attempts to lure him away would not come as a surprise, BVB are surely keen to get the deal done in the not-too-distant future.

Sporting director Ole Book is expected to intensify talks soon, with the clear aim of ensuring that Inacio does not go into next season with a contract nearing its expiry.
