Contract coup confirmed: BVB tie top talent Inacio down long term | OneFootball

After his strong performances with the senior team, Borussia Dortmund sent a clear signal. BVB extended the contract of top talent Samuele Inacio ahead of schedule.

Borussia Dortmund have secured the future of one of their most promising talents: Samuele Inacio has extended his contract with BVB early until 2029. The 18-year-old Italian will therefore continue his career path in Dortmund after recently being given increasing playing time with the senior team under coach Niko Kovac.

Inacio has played his way into the spotlight in recent weeks with strong performances and has been named in the starting lineup more and more often. So far, the attacking player’s biggest moment came in the home match against Eintracht Frankfurt, when he scored his first senior goal in front of the Yellow Wall. “The feeling of scoring my first goal in front of the Yellow Wall was unbelievable, and in the future I want to celebrate many more successful moments with my team, the club, and its incredible fans,” the youngster said after extending his contract.

Inacio now also enjoys a high standing within the club. Sporting director Ole Book described the Italian as “intelligent in play, secure on the ball, strong in combination play” and particularly highlighted his sense of space. The official also emphasized that, despite his positive development, the forward still has “big steps ahead of him.”

BVB sees great potential in Samuele Inacio

Those in charge at BVB clearly see him as a player with extraordinary potential. Lars Ricken said: “With his abilities and his potential, Samu is one of the greatest talents of his age group worldwide.” That is why the club wanted to extend the attacking player’s contract early and create long-term planning certainty.

According to information from BILD, the youth player’s salary is also said to have been significantly adjusted as part of the extension. Until now, Inacio is said to have earned around €150,000 per year. At the same time, Dortmund are also responding with the new contract to strong interest from other top European clubs. Most recently, rumors circulated about possible offers from Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid.

With the contract extension, Borussia Dortmund are now making it clear that Inacio is expected to play an important role at the club in the future. After his successful breakthrough into the senior squad, the Italian is likely to receive significantly more playing time as early as next season.
