German giants Borussia Dortmund have received positive news regarding teenage striker Samuele Inácio. Recent reports reveal the Italian forward is tied to the club until 2029. This is two years longer than earlier stories suggested.
Initial media reports claimed Inácio’s agreement ended in 2027. The club wanted to extend it quickly to block interest from other European teams. However, German publication Bild states the deal automatically became a professional three-year contract when the player turned 18 on April 2.
This discovery places Dortmund in a stronger negotiating position. They no longer face immediate pressure to rush talks. Despite this comfortable situation, the Black and Yellows remain keen to secure his long-term future. They plan to offer a new contract running until 2030 or 2031.
The young attacker has impressed on the pitch recently. He has started the last two German league matches for the team. His growing role in the squad shows why the club wants to keep him at Signal Iduna Park for many years.
