Real Madrid attacking midfield prodigy wanted on loan by Serie A club
The scouts of Real Madrid have had a lot of business to handle in Brazil in recent years. Almost every top talent produced in the country has been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu. Vinicius Jr, Eder Militao and Rodrygo stand to show the success of this approach.
One such youngster who signed for Los Blancos in 2020 was Reinier Jesus. The Brazilian was purchased for a hefty fee of €30 million before being sent on loan to Borussia Dortmund for two years.
Now that he is back at the club, another loan exit could be on the cards for the Brazilian attacking midfielder. And according to reports from Diario AS, Torino FC are trying to sign the youngster from Real Madrid.
Real Madrid have prioritised the forward’s loan for a combination of reasons. The ruthless competition in the forward department would hamper Reinier’s development if he stayed at the club. Moreover, he would occupy a non-EU spot that they cannot afford at the moment.
Torino are not the only club in the running for the starlet’s signature. Real Valladolid have had their eyes on him for several weeks now and could be spurred into action by the Italian side’s sudden interest.
Last season, the 20-year-old participated in 13 league games for Dortmund and failed to find the back of the net. In 2020-21, he scored one goal and provided one assist in 14 Bundesliga appearances.
While the numbers may not be impressive, one must remember that he is still young and promises a frightening ceiling.
Real Madrid wish to finalise Reinier’s loan exit at the earliest possible as he is not part of their plans for the pre-season tour to the United States. With Takefusa Kubo on his way to Real Sociedad, Reinier could be the next exciting prospect to leave Los Blancos.
Eden Hazard is one of the Real Madrid players who have vowed to stay at Santiago Bernabeu until the end of his contract. His current deal at the club expires in 2024.
Even though the Real Madrid star has been courted by several MLS and even the Saudi Arabian clubs, the forward has shown no desire to leave Bernabeu just yet. He wants to stay at the club even though Los Blancos are ready to sanction his sale this summer.
In the midst of this drama, a fresh report from Alfredo Matilla suggests Real Madrid are now considering terminating the contract of Eden Hazard.
This comes shortly after a report which claimed that a Real Madrid player who is not out of contract this summer, may shockingly leave the club this summer. Ferland Mendy was a potential candidate, but it appears Hazard has not been ruled out either.
The Belgian international has offered very little since joining from Chelsea in 2019 for a record-breaking €115 million fee. His spell at the Bernabeu has been marred by injuries, while the player has also struggled to impress when given the opportunities.
Inside the Real Madrid dressing room, there is both grief and resentment towards Belgian, who has remained steadfast in his decision to stay at the club. He has a good standing in the team due to his professionalism, but the Real Madrid bosses are determined to get rid of him this summer.
Hazard, after all, is the highest-paid player in the squad and his departure could open up a chunk of the space in the salary mass. But it must be noted that Real Madrid would have to spend a fortune to terminate Hazard’s contract.
Hence, it will be interesting to see whether or not Los Blancos end up splashing the cash in order to get Hazard out of their books this coming summer.
