In January 2020, Real Madrid spent 30 million euros to sign Brazilian star Rainier from Flamenco, but now they can only release them for free. According to Brazil's Global Sports, Renniel will sign a contract with Atletico Minero for 4 and a half years, Real Madrid has not received any penalties and only retains 50% ownership.

Renier, 23, has been highly expected by Brazilian football. As a teenager, he was trained in the four giants in Rio State - Vasco da Gama, Botafogo, Fruminense and Flamengo. His father was once a well-known indoor football player Mauro Brasilia. In the summer of 2019, Rainier was promoted to Flamenco. Even though there were famous players such as Diego and de Alascaeta in the same position, he still occupied a place in the "Red and Black Legion". In the season, Rainier won the Brazilian League championship and the Liberators Cup with the team, and his mentor Joe Jesus was very optimistic about him: "He is a very talented young player. I really like him very much. I have talked with him many times. I told him to focus on what aspects to improve and make targeted improvements. He is only 17 years old, but he has played very maturely."

But 6 years have passed, Rainier has never fulfilled his talent, especially compared with his senior brother Vinicius (Vinius also comes from Flamenco), he is a counterexample for Real Madrid's signings. Now, he can only choose to return home.

According to Global Sports, Rainier will fly to Belo Horizonte this Tuesday and sign a contract with Athletic Minero for 4 and a half years. As early as a month ago, Rainier contacted general manager Paul Brax, and under the latter's persuasion, he agreed to return to China to play football. According to reports, Rainier's monthly salary is 900,000 reais (annual salary of 10.8 million reais, equivalent to about 1.68 million euros).
