Does Gio Reyna have a future at Borussia Dortmund?
Reyna has struggled for game time with the German team in 2023-24.
The 2023-24 Bundesliga season has been a difficult one for USMNT player Gio Reyna, who has not been able to establish himself under Borussia Dortmund head coach Edin Terzic.
The 21-year-old has played just 319 minutes in the current campaign, featuring in just eight Bundesliga games, two Champions League games and one German Cup game, however, he has not scored or assisted in the current campaign.
Possible Sancho return
The concern for Reyna now is the possible return of Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho, with Dortmund in talks over a potential loan deal for the rest of the season for their former player.
In addition to the possible return of Sancho, Dortmund are looking to sign Can Uzun, a promising youngster currently plying his trade with FC Nuremberg and who the club are eyeing as a possible replacement for club legend Marco Reus, according to reports from German outlet Bild.
