Borussia Dortmund have announced a contract extension for young forward Samuele Inácio, tying the 18-year-old to the club until 2029. The agreement secures the future of a player who has quickly become a promising component of Edin Terzić’s squad. Dortmund confirmed the deal on their official website earlier today.
Inácio joined Dortmund ahead of the current season and has demonstrated his potential with a series of appearances in the Bundesliga. He recently scored his first goal for the club in a 3-2 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, a moment he described as “incredible” in front of the famed “Yellow Wall” at Signal Iduna Park. The goal highlighted his growing confidence and integration into the team.
BVB sporting director Lars Ricken lauded Inácio’s talent, stating that the Italian attacker is “one of the biggest talents of his generation worldwide.” Ricken expressed the club’s belief that Inácio possesses the dedication and quality to become an “exceptional player” and emphasized his importance to the team’s long-term development. Dortmund have a history of nurturing young talent, and this contract extension is in line with that strategy.
Inácio expressed his happiness at remaining with Dortmund, noting he feels “very comfortable” at the club and is “proud” to have made his Bundesliga debut for them. He spoke enthusiastically about the atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park and his desire to contribute to future successes with his teammates and the club’s passionate fanbase. The extension provides stability for Dortmund’s attacking options and allows Inácio to continue his development within a competitive environment.
The new contract reflects Dortmund’s commitment to building a team around emerging talents, and Inácio’s continued presence is expected to contribute to the club’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions. His versatility and attacking instincts make him a valuable asset as Dortmund look to challenge for titles in the coming seasons.
