As the season draws to a close, young talent Samuele Inacio has begun to make his mark at Borussia Dortmund. Head coach Niko Kovac has not ruled out the possibility that the 18-year-old Italian could replace Julian Brandt, who is expected to leave the club this summer. This is reported by Goal.com .
In the press conference following the 3-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, Kovac stated: "Jule has played brilliantly here for seven years and scored many important goals. Samuele is striving to prove himself in every aspect; he works tirelessly on the pitch and is very active in the attack."
Brandt's contract is expiring, and he will leave the club as a free agent. Borussia Dortmund is looking for a creative midfielder to replace him. Sporting director Lars Ricken also praised Inacio's consistent performances in recent matches, making it clear he sees him as a first-team player for next season.
Having joined from the Atalanta academy in 2024, Samuele Inacio has already caught the attention of giants like Barcelona and PSG. The Borussia Dortmund board is working on signing a new contract with the youngster. Meanwhile, staff changes continue at the club: it has been announced that Marcel Schmelzer will leave the U23 coaching staff at the end of the season.
