Real Madrid’s recruitment policy has been rightly praised for over a decade, but Jesus Reinier is unfortunately one of the casting errors.
To achieve successes like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Fede Valverde, Arda Güler or Raphaël Varane if we go back a little in time, you also have to accept a margin of error in your recruitment. A bet fully assumed by Real Madrid who have already won this game, as evidenced by the last 2 Champions Leagues.
In this batch of recruitment focused on young hopefuls, not all of them were able to establish themselves at Real Madrid, like Martin Odegaard who nevertheless proved profitable in accounting terms. Bought for a handful of millions of euros in 2015, he was resold to Arsenal for just under 40 million euros in 2021. A good deal.
Reinier, the big failure
On the other hand, it cannot be said that Real Madrid are able to get back on their feet in the same way as Jesus Reinier, the 22-year-old Brazilian bought for 30 million euros from Flamengo in 2020 and who is struggling to acclimatise to European football.
The latter was first loaned to Dortmund (39 appearances) for two seasons without managing to establish himself there. He then went to Girona (18 matches) without much success before finishing the season at Frosinone (23 matches), a club in the Italian second division.

Alas, the experiences follow one another and are similar for Jesus Reinier who is also still under contract with Real Madrid until 2026. This summer, the Brazilian is back in the Spanish capital but the door is obviously wide open for him for a new adventure. A new loan and even a dry sale would satisfy the Madrid management.
For his part, he has not yet given up, as he indicated in an interview with GE a few weeks ago. “Of course my main objective is Real Madrid, it is the club that has given me its confidence. I am moving forward step by step and working hard,” he assured.
For now, we still have little visibility on his near future and where he could bounce back next season as Relevo points out today. There is no place for him in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, that’s for sure…
