Reinier to be Atlético-MG's new reinforcement

Brazilian football clubs are keeping an eye on the transfer market to strengthen their squads. So far, Flamengo has announced the signing of four players: Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal. Meanwhile, Atlético-MG is close to finalizing the negotiation for Reinier, a former player of Flamengo.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Marca', Reinier has already bid farewell to Real Madrid (ESP) and is preparing to arrive in Belo Horizonte. Thus, the midfielder is expected to sign with Atlético-MG for four and a half years, until December 2029. In this way, the former Flamengo player is awaited to undergo medical exams and close the deal with the rival of Mengão.

WHAT ARE REINIER'S NUMBERS IN THE LAST SEASON?

Last season, Reinier played for Granada (ESP) on loan and played 25 games, scoring only once. In addition, the Flamengo youth player provided four assists to his teammates. However, the Spanish team decided not to buy the player.

WAS REINIER CLOSE TO FLAMENGO?

Before Atlético-MG approached Reinier's signing, the midfielder's name was discussed in the backstage of Flamengo. According to an investigation by Coluna do Fla's reporting, there was initial contact between the player's representatives and Mengão. However, the values required for a possible return stalled any progress in the talks.

DOES FLAMENGO WANT TO SIGN MORE PLAYERS?

After agreeing with the four players targeted by the board, Flamengo does not intend to make 'crazy' moves in the market. However, the Rubro-Negro maintains active negotiations with Fiorentina (ITA) for the signing of striker Lucas Beltrán. Despite having already closed values with the Italian team, Mengão needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South American football.
