After Brazil Under-23s' win over Peru, Reinier Jesus couldn't hide his happiness when asked about his expected move to Real Madrid.

Brazil's Under-23s opened up their Olympic qualifying campaign with a 1-0 victory over Peru on Sunday, on what was the 18th birthday of rising star Reinier Jesus - a player who is close to completing a January move to one of the biggest clubs in world football.

Speaking to the media post-match, Reinier could not conceal his happiness when asked about his anticipated transfer to Real Madrid, but stressed that he is currently concentrating on helping Brazil to book their place at the men's football tournament at this summer's Olympics in Tokyo.
"I'm focused on Brazil for now. When I got here I turned my full focus onto this competition, which is really important for me and for all of us," said Reinier, who arrived at the qualifying tournament in Colombia after the rest of the squad following a flying visit to Madrid.
"I had a few private issues to see to [laughs], but I'm fully focused on the national team. It was just a quick thing and everything's fine."
Having already completed a medical, Reinier's move to Madrid can be confirmed now that he is 18. "I'm really happy, right now I've got to keep on working hard and we'll see what happens," said the attacking midfielder, who featured as a second-half subsitute against Peru.
