BVB star Reyna set for Gladbach move? Decision made | OneFootball

After months of speculation about his future, Giovanni Reyna is apparently on his way from Dortmund to Gladbach. The 22-year-old US national player is said to switch for around seven million euros including bonuses.

US national player Giovanni Reyna is apparently on the verge of a transfer from Borussia Dortmund to Borussia Mönchengladbach. According to information from BILD, the clubs have agreed on a transfer fee of up to seven million euros including bonus payments. Dortmund secured a resale clause of around 15 percent - if the 22-year-old is sold by Gladbach in the future, BVB will receive a share of the profit. Originally, the black and yellows had demanded around ten million euros for the offensive player.

For Reyna, the move is a step towards more playing time. At BVB, he had hardly any prospects lately: In the past Bundesliga season, he was only in the starting line-up three times, played a total of 26 games, scored two goals, and was only used for an average of 24 minutes per game. In the cup game against Rot-Weiss Essen, he sat on the bench for 90 minutes, and had to give up his number 7 jersey to newcomer Jobe Bellingham. A transfer to Parma Calcio was also recently discussed, but Gladbach apparently outbid the Italian club.

Reyna without perspective at BVB

The transfer also comes in light of Reyna's expiring contract in 2026. Sportingly, the American played no major role anymore, and in the national team, he only played once in the last twelve months. In his career, Reyna was once considered one of the greatest talents at BVB - in 2021, his market value was still 42 million euros.

For Gladbach, the transfer is a direct replacement for Alassane Pléa, who moved to PSV Eindhoven. The club also recently showed interest in Bayern talent Paul Wanner. According to BILD, the talks between Gladbach and Dortmund were initially difficult, but now an agreement has apparently been reached between the two clubs.

For Dortmund, the sale offers financial flexibility: The transfer budget, which was recently around 30 to 40 million euros, could be increased through the sale of Reyna. Already in the offing, according to media reports, are several potential new signings, including Carney Chukwuemeka (Chelsea), Aaron Anselmino (Chelsea), and Fábio Silva (Wolverhampton Wanderers), to close the squad gaps.
