Gio's Transfer Saga Appears Over

Gladbach Edged Ahead of Parma for the American's Signature

Giovanni Reyna's prolonged transfer saga appears to be reaching its conclusion, with Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach reportedly reaching an agreement in principle for the USMNT midfielder's permanent move.

Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg broke the news, reporting: "BREAKING | Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach have now reached an agreement in principle over a permanent move of Gio #Reyna. The deal includes at least €3m fixed plus a significant amount in potential bonuses."

However, the transfer isn't complete yet, but this development comes after Mönchengladbach successfully hijacked Parma's pursuit of the 22-year-old American.

Reyna has struggled in recent years, managing just two goals and a couple of assists in 49 appearances over the past two seasons, including a disappointing loan stint at Nottingham Forest. His Estimated Transfer Value has plummeted from €50 million in November 2021 to just €7.8 million.

Sky Sports' Florian Plettenberg reports that Mönchengladbach "can only afford a deal worth a maximum of €3–4m plus bonuses" and that "Reyna keen to join BMG over Parma if the clubs find an agreement." With only a year remaining on his Dortmund contract, the Bundesliga club appears ready to move on under new head coach Nico Kovac. The decision now rests with Reyna as both clubs vie for his signature.
