Norwich City face uphill battle in race for £26m Real Madrid man
Norwich City have been credited with interest in Los Blancos’ Brazilian Reinier by sources such as The Athletic in recent days. The Athletic’s Mario Cortegana wrote that the 22-year-old Brazilian would not travel with Real Madrid Castilla to Marbella.
Cortegana wrote that this was ‘pending the resolution of his future’ with the Canaries showing a concrete interest in the Brazilian youngster. The Championship outfit were said to be looking to explore a loan with an option to buy deal for Reinier.
However, El Dia reporter Daswani says that La Segunda side CD Tenerife have entered the chase. The second-tier outfit have been permitted by the league to sign one more player and the signing does not come with the need for a player to leave the club.
Daswani adds that Norwich City had their first bid for Brazilian Reinier rejected by Real Madrid. Reinier’s agents have offered his services to top-tier sides in Spain.
He goes on to say that if no top-tier team wants him, then Tenerife would be ‘well positioned’ to complete a deal on Wednesday or Thursday this week.
Stumbling block in Reinier chase
Reinier cost Real Madrid around £26m when Los Blancos bought him from Brazilian side Flamengo in late January 2020. The youngster has since been out on a series of loans to Borussia Dortmund, Girona and Frosinone.
The Brasilia-born youngster has represented Brazil at youth levels from U16 to U23s. In 24 games for the Seleção, he has scored 12 goals.
He has scored for all the loan teams that he has played for. He has also appeared in three of Europe’s top leagues and has experience of Champions League football.
Norwich City have lost several attacking talent in the current transfer window. The likes of Gabriel Sara, Adam Idah and Jonathan Rowe have all left Carrow Road.
