Samuele Inácio Piá was born on 2 April 2008 in Bergamo, Italy, into a footballing family — his father João Batista Inácio, known as Piá, was a winger for Atalanta and Napoli. He spent ten seasons at Atalanta's renowned youth academy before joining Borussia Dortmund in summer 2024.
He has been integrated into Dortmund's senior squad, with his debut and contract extensions reflecting the club's evaluation of him as a long-term project.
For Italy at youth level he has dazzled, including a debut goal at the FIFA U17 World Cup that brought wide attention from the Italian football federation FIGC.
A right-footed forward / attacking midfielder / winger, Inácio combines pace, dribbling and direct running into the box — the kind of versatile wide-attacker profile Dortmund have built recent attacks around, alongside Karim Adeyemi, Maximilian Beier and Mathis Albert.
Public information about him is still developing, and this profile will be updated as more career and biographical detail becomes confirmed from independent sources.
