Flamengo product Reinier is definitely out of Real Madrid's plans. According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the attacking midfielder will not be used in either the main squad or in Real Madrid Castilla , the B team managed by Álvaro Arbeloa. The publication defines the situation as "closed doors" for the player at the Merengue club. The youngster 's name was linked to Mengão at the end of April .
Even after his loan to Granada ended, Reinier was not called up by Xabi Alonso to return on June 9, the start of pre-season training. The player who emerged as one of the great promises of Brazilian football sees his European career coming to an end at the age of 23 .
With a contract until June 2026, Reinier is entering his final season under contract with Real Madrid . However, within the club, there is no expectation of his performance. The tendency is for him to be loaned out again, this time to a new destination that is yet to be defined. The player is currently on vacation in Brazil, while awaiting a definition for his future.
Last season, Reinier trained with the main squad, then managed by Carlo Ancelotti. However, his presence was motivated only by the lack of available players , and not by the prospect of technical improvement. When the Italian coach selected 10 players from the youth team for the pre-season in the United States, the midfielder was left out.
Loaned to Granada during the 2024/25 season, the former Flamengo player had more minutes on the field than in previous years , but his performance remained lacking. In 25 matches, he totaled 1,399 minutes, with just one goal and four assists — discreet numbers, considering the level of the Spanish second division.
This was Reinier's fourth loan spell since arriving in Europe in 2020. Before Granada, the midfielder spent time at Borussia Dortmund (GER), Girona (ESP) and Frosinone (ITA), without managing to establish himself at any of the clubs.

The clash between Juventude and Flamengo takes place this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul (RS). The live broadcast will be carried out by the Amazon Prime streaming service, with narration by Galvão Bueno.
Coach Filipe Luís should send Rossi onto the field; Emerson Royal, Danilo, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas; De La Cruz, Saúl and Arrascaeta; Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino (Cebolinha) and Pedro.
Flamengo leads the Brazilian Championship with 47 points . Juventude, meanwhile, sits in the relegation zone with 21 points and is looking to rally at home to try and climb out of the bottom of the table.
Arrascaeta, Viña, Carrascal, and Samuel Lino , who were with their national teams during the FIFA World Cup, trained normally and are confirmed for the game. Gonzalo Plata, although he traveled with the group, is expected to start on the bench, as he only performed gym activities after being released by Flamengo .
After unilateral termination with Al-Hilal and speculation about his future, the athlete appears as an option for Brazilian clubs and his name is speculated at Mengão

Renan Lodi 's future has once again become a topic of discussion in Brazilian football following his tumultuous departure from Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal. The 27-year-old full-back unilaterally terminated his contract , claiming he had been barred from playing in the Saudi Arabian Championship. In response, the club announced it intends to take legal action against the player.
Lodi, a free agent, was quickly linked to Brazilian clubs, but Flamengo has no intention of entering the fray. The board believes the squad is already well-stocked at left-back and there's no need for reinforcements at this time.
Coach Filipe Luís currently has Ayrton Lucas as a solid starter and Matías Viña as an immediate alternative. Additionally, Alex Sandro is in the final stages of recovery and should expand the coach's options soon. The arrival of another full-back could create a surplus of players in Flamengo 's defense.
Another factor that influenced the decision not to move forward with negotiations was the financial aspect. Renan Lodi has a history of high salaries since his time at Atlético de Madrid , Nottingham Forest, and Al-Hilal. Investing in a player with this profile is seen by the board as unnecessary in the club's current situation.
Meanwhile, Renan Lodi publicly defends his decision to leave Al-Hilal. In a letter posted on social media, the full-back stated that he could not be prevented from practicing his profession and that he tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve the situation amicably with the Arab club.
The Brazilian full-back who caught the eye in the national team continues to thrive in Italy, creating chances for the Roman team and being among the team's best despite the setback

After gaining prominence for the Brazilian national team against Chile, the right-back was once again a standout performer for Roma . Expectations for the former Flamengo player's performance are rising with each round of the Italian Championship.
Since arriving at the Italian capital club, Wesley has had a strong start, even finding the net on his debut . Since then, the Brazilian has been putting together strong performances , solidifying his place in the squad and attracting the attention of the European press.
This Sunday (14), even with Roma's 1-0 defeat to Torino, with a goal from Giovanni Simeone, Wesley was one of the main names of the Giallorossi team. The player created the best attacking opportunities and received praise from sports analysts.
According to the specialized portal Sofascore, Wesley received a rating of 7.0 , being the third best for Roma in the match, behind only Soulé (7.6) and goalkeeper Mile Svilar (7.1). The right-back shows constant improvement in Italy and the expectation is that he will continue to improve .
