'Playing with Reus is special' – Real Madrid loanee Reinier admits to being long-time Dortmund fan

On-loan Borussia Dortmund youngster Reinier says having the opportunity to play alongside Marco Reus is “very special” having grown up watching the Germany international in action for Bundesliga giants on TV.

The 18-year-old joined Dortmund in August on a two-year loan through to June 2022, just six months after joining Real Madrid from Flamengo.

The teenager failed to break into Real's senior squad following his winter transfer, despite scoring twice in three outings for reserve side Castilla, so hopes his move to Germany will enable him to gain some valuable first-team experience.
