Gio Reyna's long (inter)national nightmare may finally be close to ending. After weeks of inaction, multiple reports said on Monday that Parma was closing in on a deal for the Borussia Dortmund outcast. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano said the Serie A club was "advancing" on an agreement to sign the U.S. international midfielder.

If Reyna is to make a charge at the 2026 U.S. World Cup squad, his club fortunes need to change drastically – and quickly

Gio Reyna is reportedly more likely to join a Premier League outfit if he leaves Borussia Dortmund than link up with Christian Pulisic at AC Milan.

Gio Reyna has suffered a brutal demotion at Borussia Dortmund, with Jobe Bellingham inheriting the USMNT star’s No.7 shirt.

The transfer windows in Europe's big five leagues close on Sept. 1, but if Gio Reyna is to finally leave Borussia Dortmund, it will realistically have to happen by this weekend.

Reyna - who was linked with Gers earlier this year - burst onto the scene with the Bundesliga club in 2020 but has since become a bit-part player in recent seasons, spending the second half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

Dortmund would want around €15 million ($16.3m) to transfer him, sources told ESPN. Reyna, who joined the Bundesliga club in 2019, is under contract at Dortmund until June 2025.
