Real Madrid midfielder Reinier is ready to quit Borussia Dortmund in January.
The Brazilian is in the second of a two-season loan with BVB, but has been struggling for minutes under coach Marco Rose.
Reinier's agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, has approached Benfica about taking over the loan in January, reports torcedores.com.
Key to the move is Benfica coach Jorge Jesus, who worked with Reinier at Flamengo and would welcome a reunion.
For their part, Real Madrid support the move, with the board deciding to cash in on the youngster. Indeed, Real would prefer to include an obligatory permanent option in the loan arrangement to the tune of €20m.
