Reinier Jesus Leaves Real Madrid for Atletico Mineiro; Xabi Alonso Boosts Preseason Squad with Youngsters
Real Madrid midfielder Reinier Jesus has officially reached an agreement to leave the club and return to Brazil, joining Atletico Mineiro on a free transfer in the ongoing summer window.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal includes a 50% sell-on clause, meaning Madrid will receive half of any future transfer fee if Reinier is sold by Atletico Mineiro.
⚽ Reinier’s Madrid Journey Ends Quietly
Reinier joined Los Blancos in 2020 from Flamengo in a high-profile move, but never made a first-team breakthrough. He spent most of his Madrid career on loan:
🟡 Borussia Dortmund
🔴 Granada
⚪ Girona
Despite showing flashes of promise, consistent performances eluded him in Europe. A return to Brazil offers the 22-year-old a chance to reignite his career in familiar territory.
🧒 Xabi Alonso Calls Up Academy Trio for Preseason
In preparation for their friendly match against WSG Tirol on Tuesday in Austria, Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has promoted Daniel Yáñez, Diego Aguado, and Manuel Ángel to first-team training, according to Madrid Zone.
However, Manuel Ángel is a doubt due to a lingering discomfort, and his fitness will be assessed ahead of the match.

💬 Opinion – Madrid Clears the Deck, Builds the Future
Reinier’s quiet exit shows just how unpredictable football development can be. Despite a big-name signing fee and high expectations, sometimes things just don’t click. Real Madrid’s decision to focus on youth players like Yáñez and Aguado also shows that Xabi Alonso is building for the long term, carefully blending talent with opportunity.
