- American playmaker embracing new challenge
- Eager to find regular game time in Germany
- Out to make an early impression on debut
After several windows of intense questions being asked of his future, United States international Reyna has finally completed a permanent transfer away from Borussia Dortmund. A three-year contract has been signed with Gladbach.
Reyna, who made his senior debut in January 2020, is still just 22 years of age and has plenty of potential to be unlocked. He is hoping to deliver on that promise with club and country – with a home World Cup approaching in the summer of 2026.
The talented playmaker is looking to find regular minutes with Gladbach that were denied him by BVB. Injury issues did his cause few favours there, but he found the going tough at times when fit.
Reyna is now revelling in a fresh start, saying to Gladbach supporters ahead of his debut for the club against Werder Bremen on Sunday: “Here in this amazing stadium. Can’t wait to see you guys for my first game against Bremen. Hope we can do great things together here in this stadium. Don’t miss the chance to support me and the rest of the team. Really looking forward to hopefully putting on a good performance for you guys. See you guys soon.”
Reyna made 146 appearances for Dortmund in total, scoring 19 goals. He has 32 senior caps for the USMNT and is looking to make a similar impact in European football to the one that fellow countryman Christian Pulisic is now enjoying at Serie A giants AC Milan.
