Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Eder Militao are the flagbearers of Brazil in a successful Real Madrid. But there is another Brazilian who dreams of joining that group and may have the chance to do so this summer.
We are talking about Reinier, who had to return to the club after spending last season on loan with Frosinone in Italy. Although the future of the 22-year-old player is uncertain, he started the pre-season under the orders of Carlo Ancelotti and has already begun to fight for his place.

The former Flamengo player scored in a 3-0 friendly win against Albacete, which made him hopeful: “I’ve been doing the pre-season here at Real Madrid since the beginning, and the training sessions have been very good. I received the opportunity to play an entire half and was fortunate to score one of the winning goals. I am happy, motivated, and will continue to give my best to try to earn my place and have a good season.”
The midfielder, whose contract expires in June 2026, arrived in the Spanish capital in 2020 in a transfer that cost 30 million euros. After being part of Real Castilla, he spent time on loan with Borussia Dortmund and Girona before playing in Frosinone.
In total, he has played 83 matches and scored eight goals in Europe. According to As, Madrid’s intention is to try to recover part of the investment in his transfer with a sale during this transfer window. In the meantime, the player trains with the club, hoping to stay.
