Real Madrid has not received an offer from Flamengo for Reinier and is expected to terminate the Brazilian’s contract

Spanish giants expected to release Brazilian midfielder in coming days after failed attempts to offload him
Real Madrid is seriously considering terminating the contract of Brazilian midfielder Reinier, as no formal offers have arrived this window. The 22-year-old has been told by head coach Xabi Alonso and the club’s board that he is not part of the plans for the 2025/26 season and is free to look for a new club.
No Offers for Reinier — Madrid Running Out of Patience
Despite being on the market, Reinier has not attracted any official bids, frustrating president Florentino Pérez, who is keen to clear space in the squad. The player has been informed of the club’s stance, and a contract termination is now on the table, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
Such a move would make Reinier a free agent, allowing him to negotiate directly with interested clubs without a transfer fee.
Flamengo and Botafogo Monitoring Situation
Reinier remains a highly regarded prospect in Brazil, and sources close to the player confirm that both Flamengo, his boyhood club, and Botafogo are tracking his situation closely. While no offer has been made, a free transfer could accelerate talks, as Brazilian clubs would only need to negotiate terms with the player and his representatives.
Real Madrid’s €30M Gamble That Never Paid Off
Reinier was signed by Real Madrid in 2020 for €30 million (approximately R$136 million at the time), but he never made a first-team appearance for the club. Instead, he was sent on a series of loans to clubs across Germany (Borussia Dortmund), Italy (Frosinone), and Spain (Girona), but failed to solidify a long-term role.
Now, Real Madrid appears ready to cut their losses as they look to offload surplus players following the signings of Alphonso Davies, Leny Yoro, Kylian Mbappé, and Endrick.
