Reinier Jesus’ has had to bide his time with Borussia Dortmund — battling injuries, COVID, and adaptation to Germany and the European game. It seems the teenager has finally started to find his feet and this goal could help kick-start his career for Edin Terzic’s team.

This summer Reinier Jesus will have the opportunity to represent his country in the Olympics. A good showing coupled with a positive end to the current season, could see the Brazilian play a more prominent role with his second year at the German club. Similar to the Achraf Hakimi deal, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund agreed on a two-year loan deal. Reinier will be determined to leave a lasting impression next season in order to secure a return to his parent club.
