Gio Reyna Transfer Race: Borussia Mönchengladbach Match Parma’s Proposal

Borussia Mönchengladbach have matched Parma’s offer for USA international Gio Reyna. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder’s transfer decision is now hotly debated as both clubs want his signature.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Gio Reyna, with Borussia Dortmund for five years, is likely leaving this summer. Parma, new to Serie A and promoted for the 2024-25 season, made the first move and seemed close to a deal. But Mönchengladbach matched Parma’s financial offer, proposing a similar fee of €6 million plus possible bonuses, according to recent reports. Gladbach feels confident they can persuade Reyna to stay in Germany, forcing him into a crucial decision about his future as he has become a main target for Parma’s Serie A campaign.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR REYNA AND BOTH TEAMS

This move comes after a tough season for Reyna. He started just five Bundesliga games for Dortmund in 2024/25, managing two goals and one assist in 13 league appearances after struggling with recurring injuries. With limited playing time and strong competition, Reyna seeks a club for a bigger role. Borussia Mönchengladbach, 10th in the Bundesliga last season, want to rebuild their midfield and see Reyna as a key target. Parma aims to avoid relegation, after finishing 16th last season and almost being relegated.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR REYNA?

Reyna must choose now. He can stay in Germany, stepping into a crucial role at Mönchengladbach, or accept a new challenge in Italy with Parma. Gladbach’s next match is against newly promoted Hamburger SV. Parma face Juventus in a crucial Serie A opener. Reyna’s decision will be closely watched, as both teams need enhanced midfield creativity and offensive support early in the new season.
