Is Gio Reyna leaving Borussia Dortmund for England? Recently there were rumors about the departure of BVB’s offensive man. Now there are apparently serious discussions with a buyer from the Premier League.
Giovanni – Gio for short – Reyna is having an even harder time at Borussia Dortmund these days than before. Because the 21-year-old offensive player has moved further back due to Jadon Sancho’s winter comeback. So it’s no wonder that the American is pushing ahead with his already planned farewell.
According to a recent media report, Reyna could soon move to Nottingham Forest. As the portal “The Athletic” reports, the sixteenth-placed team in the Premier League is working intensively on the 21-year-old and is also in close contact with BVB.
The aim is to have a loan until the end of the season, and a purchase option should be integrated into the deal. The negotiations are said to be ongoing and, according to the report, are already well advanced.
According to information from “Sky” there is already a completely verbal agreement between Reyna and Forest.
An agreement between the clubs is also not far away, according to “The Athletic”. Regardless of this, there are still a few formalities that need to be clarified.
The transfer could be completed by the end of the transfer window in a week.
Reyna is said to have recently informed those responsible at Dortmund Borussia about his desire to change. His father Claudio and the management around star consultant Jorge Mendes have been working hard on a change of scenery for some time.
How much will BVB collect for Reyna?
In addition to the current interest from Nottingham Forest, there have also recently been reports of advertising from Real Sociedad, Atlético Madrid and Sevilla FC from Spain as well as Benfica from Portugal.
“Bild” and “ESPN” also brought possible transfer fees for Reyna into play, which would probably also be applicable to a possible purchase option. According to the German tabloid, the amount is said to be in the double-digit million range, while the US media specifically writes of 15 million euros.
Reyna moved to Dortmund from the New York City FC youth team on a free transfer in the summer of 2019. In 120 appearances he has 17 goals and 16 assists.
