Reinier eager to earn a place in Real Madrid history books after realising 'childhood dream'

Real Madrid's newest signing Reinier says he wants to become a part of Real Madrid's illustrious history after "fulfilling a lifelong dream".

The 18-year-old completed a €35 million (£29m/$38m) move to Santiago Bernabeu from Flamengo on January 20, committing to a six-year contract with the 13-time European champions.

The Brazil U17 international will join up with Madrid's Castilla side until the end of the current campaign, with a view to stepping up to the first team later in the year.
