BVB close to Inácio contract coup, just one detail left | OneFootball

After strong performances from Samuele Inácio, Borussia Dortmund are close to extending the top talent’s contract. Only one final detail regarding the length of the new BVB deal still remains unresolved.

At Borussia Dortmund, the contract extension with top talent Samuele Inácio is imminent. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, both sides are largely in agreement – only one detail is still causing final discussions: the exact length of the new contract. The current debate is whether the attacking player will sign until 2030 or even 2031.

The 18-year-old, who is still under contract until 2027, is expected to take on a central role at Dortmund in the long term. Internally, the club even believes he can shape the classic playmaker position in the future. It’s no surprise: Inácio recently made an immediate impression in his first appearances for the senior team. In the 4-0 win against SC Freiburg, he was in the starting lineup for the first time and, among other things, set up a goal by striker Serhou Guirassy with a strong dribble.

BVB are therefore determined to keep hold of their talent – especially given international interest. According to BILD, top clubs such as FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have been monitoring the young Italian’s development for quite some time. However, a departure is out of the question for Dortmund’s decision-makers.

Salary boost for Samuele Inácio: BVB planning first professional contract

Instead, Inácio is set to receive his first professional contract – including a significant salary increase. He currently earns around €150,000 per year, and according to the report, his salary could increase at least fivefold with his signature.

The current development fits Dortmund’s strategic realignment under coach Niko Kovac, who has recently been relying more heavily on young players. Alongside Inácio, talents such as Luca Reggiani and Mathis Albert have also been given playing time and have impressed. In doing so, Dortmund are once again returning more strongly to their well-known philosophy of promoting young players and developing them into international top stars – a path already successfully taken by professionals such as Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham.

Everything points to Inácio continuing along this path in black and yellow as well. The final open question could be resolved very soon.
