Reinier Jesus and Real Madrid unhappy with his playing time at Borussia Dortmund

Real Madrid and Reinier Jesus are unhappy with the on-loan forward’s lack of playing time so far at Borussia Dortmund, reports in Spain say.

Real Madrid youngster Reinier joined Borussia Dortmund on a two year loan deal with the hope that he would be able to make a similar impact to Achraf Hakimi, who enjoyed a largely successful loan spell with the Black and Yellows. However, the Brazilian forward has not enjoyed the best of starts, and has been limited to just seven appearances off the bench so far this season.

He has spent just 105 minutes on the pitch and has yet to score or assist a goal. And Diario AS say that Real Madrid are unhappy with the amount of playing time Reinier is getting at the moment. The report claims that the 18 year old’s lack of minutes is a surprise to the La Liga champions, who expected him to make steady progress at Borussia Dortmund.

AS add that Reinier did not expect playing time to be so limited, and if his situation does not change by the start of the winter transfer window in January, he could look for a ‘solution’ with those in charge at Real Madrid, which could potentially mean an early cancelation of the loan agreement.

Reinier has to compete with the likes of Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland, Julian Brandt, Gio Reyna, Marco Reus and Thorgan Hazard at Borussia Dortmund. And he was carrying an injury when he arrived at the club, which prevented him from getting fully integrated into the squad during pre-season.
