(Reuters) - Real Madrid have signed Brazilian attacking midfielder Reinier because the club remains determined to snap up the brightest young talents across the world, Real president Florentino Perez said on Tuesday.
Reinier, 18, who signed from Flamengo for a reported 30 million euros , is the third Brazilian teenager to join Real in the last two years, following the path of Vinicius Jr. in 2018 and Rodrygo Goes last year.
"It is our obsession to look for players who could be the big stars of tomorrow," Perez said at Reinier's presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday. Reinier himself, who at one point broke down in tears, said:"Today is a very happy day for me as I get to fulfil a childhood dream. I want to be a part of the history of this great club."
"This stadium is being re-built at a relentless pace with a view to the future. Many players who have graced the stadium have defined an era with Real Madrid," he added.
