After BVB exit: Reyna set for another move | OneFootball

Former BVB wonderkid Giovanni Reyna is on the verge of another club move. After just one year at Borussia Mönchengladbach, the US international now appears to be heading to France.

Giovanni Reyna is apparently already set for his next transfer. After the US international only moved from Borussia Dortmund to Borussia Mönchengladbach last summer, all signs now point to a switch to France’s Ligue 1.

According to consistent media reports, Reyna is set to join Racing Strasbourg. The 23-year-old is expected to undergo his medical on Monday before signing a contract until 2030. The transfer fee is initially said to be around three million euros. According to information from Sky, realistic bonus payments could increase that figure to around four million euros. In addition, Gladbach have reportedly secured a ten percent sell-on clause.

Reyna’s absence from Borussia’s training camp at Tegernsee had already hinted at his imminent departure. The Bundesliga club officially released the attacking player for talks with another club and is therefore clearly no longer planning with him.

This brings an end to a transfer for Gladbach that failed to live up to expectations. Reyna had been signed a year ago as a player of promise, with the hope that he could make a fresh start in the Bundesliga after difficult years at Borussia Dortmund. However, injuries once again held the playmaker back, limiting him to just 20 competitive appearances last season. He managed only one goal and one assist, while playing a total of just 577 minutes.

From a financial perspective, the move should still benefit Borussia. In addition to the transfer fee, the club will save on the attacking player’s salary and create additional room in the squad. Reyna’s contract in Mönchengladbach had originally run until 2028.

After a total of seven years in Germany and 125 Bundesliga appearances, the right-footer is now on the verge of a fresh start in France. In Strasbourg, Reyna hopes to get his career back on track and recapture the form that once made him one of Borussia Dortmund’s biggest talents.
