Florentino's galaxy of starlets at Real Madrid Real Madrid Reinier is the latest young prospect

Reinier has become the latest teenage prodigy to join the ranks at Real Madrid after completing his move from Flamengo on Tuesday.

The 18-year-old falls in line with Florentino Perez's recent policy of poaching the best young talent from across the globe.

The likes of Marco Asensio, Casemiro, Fede Valverde, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes have gone on to become star players for Los Blancos while Martin Odegaard is out on loan.

The Real Madrid president hasn't forgotten about signing his Galacticos though, with Eden Hazard arriving last summer and Kylian Mbappe on the horizon.

However, in the current market, it's difficult for clubs to keep buying ready-made superstars and that's why Real Madrid have turned to youth.

"While we're building what we want to be the best stadium of the 21st century, we also have the responsibility of developing and growing for the future the talent of our team," Perez said at Reinier's presentation.

"It's not easy to find undoubtable talent that can form part of the Real Madrid culture. As we all know, one of our main strategies is this obsession of finding talent wherever it may be.

"We're bringing in young players of extraordinary quality and with undoubtable potential for the future. In the end, players that can be the great stars of tomorrow."

Reinier is the latest jewel in this project as he joins a galaxy of starlets that will look to bring more success to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Confidence

After suffering recent disappointing results against Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, Florentino showed his support for Zinedine Zidane and his squad.

"Our players are already legends and they're still hungry to keep winning," he said.

"[They have] hunger that is essential to be able to put this shirt on each day. They're going to keep giving their all to achieve the big objectives of the season - LaLiga Santander and the Champions League.

"No one is giving up."
