Reinier Jesús is now history at Real Madrid. The white team has managed to solve one of the most delicate operations of the summer transfer market by finalizing the departure of the young Brazilian, who is returning to his homeland to start a new chapter at Atlético Mineiro. A solution that, although it took time to materialize, satisfies all parties involved.

After several unimpactful loan spells, Reinier returned to Valdebebas this summer without a clear place in Xabi Alonso's squad. His initial desire was to stay connected to the club, but due to the lack of opportunities, he has ended up accepting a departure. Now, the talented attacking midfielder will seek to revitalize his career in the Brasileirao.

The agreement between Real Madrid and Atlético Mineiro involves a one-season loan, with the particularity that the Brazilian club will take on the player's salary, ranging from €77,000 to €150,000 monthly. Although it is a loan, Reinier is now contractually unlinked from the Merengue club, but Real Madrid ensures 50% of any potential future sale, as reported by 'DefensaCentral'. An intelligent move by Real Madrid's sports management, which at least guarantees a possible profit if the player regains the level that led him to sign for Chamartín.

One of the worst signings in recent years at Real Madrid

Reinier's case is another example of how early talent does not always translate into immediate success in Europe. After shining at Flamengo and raising high expectations, his adaptation to European football has been challenging. Neither at Borussia Dortmund, nor at Girona, nor at Frosinone did he manage to establish himself, accumulating more doubts than certainties.

Although his departure was not straightforward, as the player felt he had not received sufficient support from the club, he has ultimately chosen to return home. Excited about this new chapter in Belo Horizonte, Reinier hopes to rediscover his best form, precisely in the same league where he emerged.

With this operation, Real Madrid closes a chapter that did not meet the initial expectations, but at least does so without added costs and with a chance to recover part of the investment made back then. Reinier, on the other hand, faces the challenge of feeling important again.
