In 2020, Real Madrid announced the arrival of Reinier (23 years old) from Flamengo against an estimated amount between 30 and 40 million euros. After Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr, the attacking midfielder was to be the other Brazilian nugget of the Merengues for the future. But ultimately, he did not follow the same path as his compatriots, despite however the first interesting steps with Real Madrid Castilla, in the third division, before his progression was hampered by the pandemic of Covid-19.
And since then, the darling of the Rio club has chained many loans across Europe. First in Borussia Dortmund, but the walk was still too large for him with 745 minutes on the ground on two seasons. Then in Girona, Italy, on the side of Frosinone and finally last season in Granada. Looks that are not very conclusive, while Reinier is back in Real Madrid this summer. And unsurprisingly, he does not enter the plans of Xabi Alonso and Real Madrid will make a decision on his case before the end of the transfer window.
Unwanted, even with the Real Madrid reserve
According to information from The Athleticthe Madrid management let him train with the club's reserve team time to decide for his future. Reinier has never appeared in the first team and Real Madrid says he is ready to drop him definitively this summer. Because even Álvaro Arbeloa, the Castilla coach, should not count on him this season. Faced with this situation, discussions between the Merengue club and the player's entourage should take place this month to settle his future.
As a reminder, the Reinier contract runs until June 2026 with Real Madrid, which hopes not to let it go for free after spending more than 30 million euros to bring it from Brazil. And for the moment, the 23 -year -old has aroused the interest of several Brazilian clubs, including his former club: Flamengo. At 23, Reinier will therefore have to find the best project to finally relaunch his career, completely stopped since his arrival in Europe.
