Reinier Jesus was a happy young man a couple of years ago. Having scored one of Brazil's five goals against Bolivia in a pre-Olympic Games match, he had his bags packed and was ready to set off to Madrid to work under Raul Gonzalez at Real Madrid Castilla.
Reinier was the latest young Brazilian Real Madrid had signed, following Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes.
He made his debut on February 23, 2020, and after just three games the COVID-19 pandemic brought football to a standstill. But in those games he showed enough for Real Madrid to understand that the Segunda B was not a high enough level for his talent.
In August 2020 Reinier left on loan to Borussia Dortmund, but 17 months later he's run out of happiness. The move should have been perfect, and Dortmund's style should have suited him perfectly, but things haven't gone to plan there.
In those 17 months Reinier has played just 614 minutes across 30 appearances, averaging 20 minutes per game. He has started just three games and scored just once.
Since he moved to Dortmund, 30 players have played more minutes than him.
Reinier is still just 20 years old
Nothing has gone to plan over the last year and a half, and Real Madrid know that it has been a failed move. Reinier hasn't grown at all, and he hasn't had an easy time in Germany during the pandemic.
Los Blancos know that Reinier has to return to Spain to find a new solution, as he needs to play regularly. Dortmund, though, don't intend to let him leave.
The Bundesliga side are counting on having him until the end of the season, even though they aren't using him. He's having to suffer like Andriy Lunin had to in previous loan spells away from Real Madrid, only for Los Blancos to cut those short in order to find him playing time elsewhere.
There's still time for the 20-year-old to develop, but both he and Real Madrid know that his next move will have to be chosen wisely.

He should be brought back and loaned out to a different club even if we would have to pay BVB a fee to do so

Odegaard was given too many opportunities to stamp his authority at Real Madrid. He was loaned out twice and recalled twice, both times playing full preseason tryouts with the first team. He still didn't convince Zidane nor Carlo,. Who's to blame then?
Well said bro

You picked up only thar portion how come you missed out on the remainder of his comment.. Smh
No I didn’t miss anything but if you was giving the chance to sign for Real Madrid or Ajax you would also pick Madrid it’s how it is and also if he was offered a contract with Barca or Ajax he would choose Barca it’s how it is the prestige of playing for a world class club is irresistible my friend

He chose Real over Ajax, hard to resist, but not a good career path…
Ajax never approached him

He should've chosen Ajax over Real where he would've developed with cinatabt playing time and then go to Real Madrid afterwards.
Ajax don’t need him

As a fully developed player there's no way I would recommend choosing Ajax over Real but as a young player with no experience I would. It's better than being sent on on loan constantly and not even getting the playing time u need.
