Real Madrid close in on Reinier deal as player's family considers offer

Real Madrid are on the verge of snapping up yet another teenage Brazilian talent as Flamengo's Reinier closes in on a move.

Reinier, 17, is considered one of the brightest prospects in the current Brazilian and South American champions' squad, although he played a secondary role in their successful Copa Libertadores campaign.

His potential has seen him fall on the radar of Madrid, who in recent years have swooped on Flamengo to sign Vinicius Junior as well as Santos wonderkid Rodrygo, while the pair had just a handful of senior appearances under their belts.

Unlike those two previous deals, if negotiations prosper Reinier would not be left at Flamengo on a loan spell.
