Real Madrid talent tipped for surprise Norwich City switch | OneFootball

An out-of-favour member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid could be plying his trade in England, with Norwich City next season.

That’s according to the reliable Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, who points towards Reinier Jesus as the player in question.

Brazilian midfielder Reinier, for his part, spent this past season plying his trade in Italy, with Frosinone.

And the 22-year-old’s time in Serie A went on to prove something of a mixed bag, Reinier having managed two goals and two assists across 22 total appearances.

Frosinone, in the end, did not attempt to make his arrival a permanent one, with the once so highly sought after talent having therefore since returned to base in Madrid.

Not part of the plans of first-team boss Carlo Ancelotti, the ex-Flamengo sensation, however, has been forced to settle for Castilla football.

This week, it should in turn come as little surprise to hear of Reinier being tipped for a fresh departure from Spain’s capital.

What has proven altogether more head-turning, though, is the landing spot outlined…

As per the aforementioned Mario Cortegana:

‘Norwich City are exploring a deal to sign Real Madrid midfielder Reinier Jesus.’

The move would come in the form of a loan, which could, under conditions deemed suitable by Real Madrid, feature an option to buy.

It remains to be seen whether or not Reiner himself is open to the prospect of a season plying his trade in English football’s 2nd tier, though.
