At the end of the contract with Atlético de Madrid, Reinildo (31 years old) is about to get involved with Sunderland, just promoted in the Premier League and trained by Régis Le Bris, according to several media including Marca. The Mozambican left side had joined Spain in January 2022 from Lille, with which he had been crowned champion of France in 2021.
Eliminated from the group's group Cup group phase, Reinildo leaves the Colchoneros after three and a half years and more than 100 matches played. Raised by a rupture of the cruciate ligament in February 2023 during a derby against Real Madrid, he had no longer managed to find a place of holder. Like him, Axel Witsel and César Azpilicueta will not extend the adventure in Madrid.
