Atletico Mineiro signs Reinier from Madrid

Agency:

Brazilian attacking midfielder Reinier has joined Atletico Mineiro from Real Madrid on a deal running until December 2029, the clubs said on Friday.

The 23-year-old, a Flamengo youth academy graduate who helped the Rio de Janeiro side win the Copa Libertadores and Brazilian Serie A in 2019, returns to Brazil after five years in Europe without making a senior appearance for Madrid.

“I wanted a home and I think I found the right one. I’m certain that Atletico is my new home,” said the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games gold medalist with Brazil.
