Real Madrid has decided that Reinier (2002, Brasilia), the young Brazilian midfielder signed for 30 million euros last January from Flamengo, follow in the wake of Achraf Hakimi, Jesús Vallejo or Dani Carvajal with a stint in the Bundesliga. The club announced on Wednesday the transfer of the 18-year-old footballer to Borussia Dortmund for the next two seasons. Reinier Jesus Carvalho was presented on February 18 at the Bernabéu, where he could not contain his tears, after signing a contract until 2026. He arrived in Valdebebas after playing the qualifying pre-Olympic tournament for Tokyo 2020 with the Brazilian under-23 team and was joined Real Madrid Castilla, led by Raúl González, where he played three games and scored two goals before Second Division B was paralyzed by the pandemic.

- Reinier Jesus (🏡) (@ ReinierJesus_19) August 19, 2020Reinier, son of a world futsal champion with Brazil in 1985, is considered one of the pearls of Brazilian soccer. He goes to Germany before making his debut with the first white team. “Today I start another challenge in my life. Thanks to Borussia Dortmund for the opportunity to wear this shirt ”, the player wrote on his social networks. The loan is similar to the one that Real Madrid executed in the summer of 2018 with Achraf Hakimi, when he also loaned the German side for two seasons to the Moroccan full-back. Achraf played 73 games, scored 12 goals and gave 17 assists. His numbers have led him this summer to sign for Inter for 40 million euros - the Madrid club has a right of first refusal - due to the difficulty, among other things, of being a starter on the right side against Dani Carvajal's competition. Before Achraf and Reinier, Real Madrid also sent Jesús Vallejo - granted to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2016/2017 - and Carvajal himself, who was transferred to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2012 and bought back a year later. after a brilliant campaign.
- The unfinished transition of Madrid
The midfielder is one of the pieces of a transfer policy that in recent seasons has brought young talent to Valdebebas. The purpose is to gain players with a global projection before their price shoots up in the face of the market's inflationary trend. Vinicius Júnior (2000, Rio de Janeiro) and Rodrygo Goes (2001, São Paulo) also came from the Brazilian fishing ground. Reinier stormed the 2018 Dubai Under-16 Club World Cup, where he was top scorer, top assistant and champion after beating Real Madrid in the final. In his first season as a professional, he was proclaimed champion of the Brazilian league and the Copa Libertadores with Flamengo.
The loan of the Brazilian midfielder is the third announced by Real Madrid this summer. Vallejo will be at Granada next season and Japanese Take Kubo, after a formidable year at Mallorca, will continue his military service at Villarreal.
