Norwich City want to sign Real Madrid outcast on loan
According to GE Globo, Real Madrid are in discussions with Norwich City over a potential loan deal for Brazilian youngster Reinier Jesus. Norwich would like to bring him to the club temporarily, with an option to make it permanent should they secure promotion back to the Premier League. Currently, they play in the second-tier of English football.
As things stand, though, Reinier Jesus has other options. A return to Flamengo is also on the cards, so it could come down to what destination the player prefers.
One thing which can be said for sure, at least from a spectator's view, is that Reinier Jesus leaving the club on loan is the best option for all parties. For Real Madrid, it means one of their most promising youngsters will be getting valuable experience and for Reinier Jesus, it means that he can prove himself to the Real Madrid development team, bolstering his chances next season.
However, it also must be stated that time could be running out for the Brazilian. He has already left Real Madrid three times on loan. Usually, by this stage, players swallow their pride and seek permanent options elsewhere. It certainly doesn't look good on paper that he's made 0 La Liga appearances at 22 years old.
