Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo's Friend Bids Farewell to Real Madrid: Leaves for €5M

Florentino Pérez has made a key decision about the future of one of the Brazilians with the greatest potential

Vinícius Júnior has become Real Madrid's great offensive reference. His talent and consistency have placed him among the best in the world. Last season he was close to winning the Ballon d'Or, and this season he continues to lead Real Madrid with his magic.

Rodrygo, meanwhile, has managed to step up. Although he has always been in a discreet second place, his importance has grown. Ancelotti fully trusts him, and every time he plays, he shows his enormous quality with goals and assists.

Not Everyone Has Had the Same Success as Vinícius and Rodrygo

Real Madrid has strongly bet on Brazilian talent in recent years. However, not all signings have had the same luck as Vinícius and Rodrygo. While they shine, others have been forgotten, failing to meet expectations.

Florentino Pérez is aware of this and is willing to make decisions. Not everyone can succeed at Santiago Bernabéu, and there are cases where it's best to seek an exit. This summer, one of Vinícius and Rodrygo's friends will leave Real Madrid.

Florentino Pérez Sells Him for 5 Million

Despite Real Madrid investing a large amount of money in his signing, they will now let him go almost for free. Florentino Pérez has decided to accept an offer of 5 million euros for him. More than recovering the investment, the goal is to free up space and save his salary.

The player, who arrived with the label of a great promise, never quite fit in. His loans have been irregular, and his performance is far from the level Real Madrid demands. Now, after several opportunities, the club has decided to finalize his departure.

Reinier, the Brazilian Who Couldn't Succeed

The footballer in question is Reinier. He arrived in 2020 as one of the biggest promises in South American soccer. However, he never found his place at Real Madrid and went from loan to loan without success.

Florentino Assumes the Mistake and Facilitates His Exit

Real Madrid paid 30 million euros for Reinier when he was a young promise. However, he never consolidated, and now he will leave for only 5 million. Florentino Pérez has decided to assume the loss and focus on other objectives.

The sale will allow Real Madrid to save his salary and free up a spot on the squad. Although Reinier's performance was not the desired one, Real Madrid's signing policy will continue to bet on young talent.

An Announced End for Reinier

For some time, it was clear that Reinier would not have a place at Real Madrid. The competition in his position is enormous, and his development has not been the desired one. His departure will be the best for both parties.

While Vinícius and Rodrygo continue to make history, Reinier will seek to relaunch his career elsewhere. His future is already decided, and this summer he will put an end to his time at Real Madrid.
