Reinier’s Calvary
Post image
It’s been a tough summer for Reinier. Difficult to handle. It is difficult to understand how something can go so wrong when you have put everything on your side . But it is your case. From the first day he accepted his fate, he understood Madrid when he told him that he had no place in the squad and had to go out, again, to ‘find his life’ away from Chamartín. After two calamitous years in Dortmund (only 741 minutes between two seasons), he understands that to return to Madrid you have to show that you are worth it . That is why he rowed with the current, asking his agent to close an exit as soon as possible. And Benfica appeared, with which the illusion was triggered (“he is enthusiastic!”, his father came to say) and that made… the setback was even greater. Because the situation is already known by all: despite having a closed agreement, the purchase option blew up absolutely everything . The Portuguese team, which has just parted ways with Darwin Núñez, accepted a loan, but wanted to have a bullet in the chamber to keep the player in case he exploded. That is why he called for an ‘affordable’ purchase option. But that collided directly with the position of a Madrid that still has enormous confidence in Brazilian talent; they refuse to part with him, what they want is a simple transfer , for him to play, fill his football deposit and come back, because they still believe he may be valid to play at the Bernabéu.

to limbo

full break. From almost a hundred, to zero. And since then the situation around Reinier has become very delicate, because he is in no man’s land . It was his personal request not to travel to the North American tour to be able to close his departure, as soon as possible, from Madrid. But he returned to the first team and has not achieved anything. The closest approach has been from Ronaldo Nazário , who has personally conveyed his interest in opening the doors of Zorrilla for him, but he has a problem: he would need to release salary bills first . Players like Roberto or Sergi Guardiola do not count for Pacheta, but they have such high salaries that it is not easy to find a destination for them.Reinier’s environment believes that Valladolid is the best of the proposals; Better even than Torino. Because there he would be the headline, he would be close to his family and the filming would be done in Spain; work ahead for when he came back. What would it be in 2023?

Lonely

Madrid paid Flamengo 30 million for his services in 2020, signing him a contract until 2026 . There is room for it to explode, but it must. While his departure seems so close and yet so far away, he continues to work totally alone in Madrid . He has not joined the dynamics of the first team after the tour and Castilla has not traveled to the preseason either. He visits the outskirts of Valdebebas to go to the gym, jog, sweat. And he also shares all the exercises he does at home on social media (“working hard and in silence,” he wrote).But the situation is especially delicate at the emotional level. Because he wants to get out, he is doing everything on his part for it, but he can’t do more. His soap opera had an almost idyllic development; but the knot is being an ordeal. The outcome remains to be known.
