Real Madrid are considering pursuing a contract termination for midfielder Reinier if the Brazilian cannot find a permanent move away from the club this summer, a report has claimed.
Having seen success with their risky acquisitions of Brazilian youngsters Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in 2017 and 2018 respectively, Madrid once again returned to South America on a scouting trip which concluded with a move for 18-year-old midfielder Reinier, who was signed for €30 million ($34.9 million) just six months after making his senior debut.
While Vinicius and Rodrygo eventually blossomed into established stars, the same cannot be said for Reinier. He spent six months in the academy before a two-year loan to Borussia Dortmund brought just four starts across all competitions. Temporary spells with Girona, Frosinone and, most recently, Granada, all failed to see Reinier take the next step.
Reinier, now 23, is back at Real Madrid and has just one year on his contract, and AS note there is no future for him at the Santiago Bernabéu.
