The German club plans to make him a regular part of the senior squad from next season, showing him that his development can continue in Germany.

On the other hand, Barcelona’s approach is slightly different. The club has been tracking him for months and has already made contact to understand his situation.

They see him as a long-term investment, a player who could initially fit into the youth setup before making the jump to the first team if his development continues as expected.

From a financial point of view, Barcelona have two possible routes. They could try to sign him now for a relatively low fee or wait until his contract runs down in 2027 and attempt to bring him in on a free transfer.

Both options are being considered, and no final decision has been made yet.

At the same time, PSG are offering a similar pathway. They are also pushing to convince the player, which means the final decision will come down to where Inacio feels he has the best chance to grow.
