Contract confusion: Dortmund talent tied down longer than previously believed
Contract confusion: Dortmund talent tied down longer than previously believed Borussia Dortmund are closing in on a new contract for Samuele Inácio until 2030 or even 2031, according to several reports. It was previously reported that Inácio’s current contract runs until 2027 and that Dortmund were looking to fend off interest in the youngster by extending it. However, Bild now claims that Inácio’s current contract actually runs until 2029, stating that it was automatically converted into a professional three-year deal when he turned 18 on April 2.
That does not mean Dortmund are no longer keen to secure his long-term future, but it does put the club in a stronger negotiating position and under less immediate pressure. The young Italian attacker has started the last two Bundesliga matches for the Black and Yellows.
