20-year-old midfielder wants to convince Real Madrid ahead of crucial season
A recent report from Marca has offered an update on the future of Reinier Jesus. The young playmaker is set to return to Santiago Bernabeu this summer, following the end of his two-year loan spell at Borussia Dortmund.
The youngster had initially joined the club back in the summer of 2020, in an attempt to make a breakthrough in European football.
With Dortmund being a club known for its ability to nurture young talents, many expected the Brazilian to emerge as the next big thing in Europe.
However, two years later, Reinier has racked up only two starts in the Bundesliga, with the player falling behind Julian Brandt, Giovanni Reyna, Marco Reus and even Marius Wolf in the pecking order.
The 20-year-old has simply failed to make an impact in Germany, offering a series of underwhelming performances, forcing Marco Rose to bank on the services of other creative players in the team, including youth prospect Youssoufa Moukoko.
But with his Dortmund loan set to come to an end, Reinier is hopeful he can turn things around in the new season by returning to Santiago Bernabeu. The report suggests the Brazillian wants to train with the team in pre-season and impress Carlo Ancelotti.
With Los Blancos expected to undergo a massive shakeup in the summer, which may include the exit of Marco Asensio and Isco, Reinier believes he has what it takes to become a part of the senior squad coming season.
Despite his lack of game-time Dortmund, Reinier has gained immense footballing knowledge and feels he is ready to thrive in Spanish football, which requires a bit more technicality,
Real Madrid are yet to make a decision surrounding the situation but are expected to hold talks with Ancelotti over the role of the future of Reinier at the end of the season.
Kylian Mbappe has been named Real Madrid Player of the Month for August after an impressive start to the 2026/27 season.
The French forward was recognised for his performances during the month, featuring in all three of Real Madrid’s matches and scoring four goals.
Mbappe opened his goalscoring account for the season in Real Madrid’s second game of the season against Real Sociedad, plundering a hat-trick in a 4-1 win.
The France captain was on target again in the next game, scoring in a 4-0 win over newly-promoted La Liga side, Malaga.

Mbappe happy with positive start
After receiving the award at the training facilities earlier today, Mbappe spoke to RMTV, talking positively about the team’s start to the campaign and outlined his ambitions for the months ahead.
“We’ve started the season positively. I hope we can continue like this on Saturday. I think there can be a lot of success this season,” he said.
The Real Madrid forward is determined to play his part as the team pursue trophies on multiple fronts.
“I’m really looking forward to helping the team and showing that we can do great things this year. I’m always happy to play here. I know it’s a privilege,” he noted.
Welcoming the new arrivals
Mbappe also discussed the new faces who have joined the squad, stressing the importance of ensuring everyone settles quickly into the team.
After all, Real Madrid have made as many as six new additions in Ibrahima Konate, Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, Carlos Espi, Denzel Dumfries, and Yan Diomande.
“It’s always good to see new faces. They come wanting to help the badge and Real Madrid. We’ve tried to make sure everyone adapts in the best possible way so that we can all move in the same direction,” he stated.
With the squad continuing to improve, Mbappe believes unity will be crucial as Real Madrid aim for a successful season.
The France captain’s four goals in August, coupled with his strike against Inter Milan earlier this week, have provided an early indication of his importance to the side as Real Madrid look to bring trophies back at the Bernabeu.

It will be beneficial for the club to include the attacker in the 2022/2023 squad to contribute his quota; after all, Brazilians in the team ( Venicius, Rodrigo, Casemiro and Militao )are playing very well
