United States midfielder Gio Reyna has completed a move to Strasbourg from Borussia Mönchengladbach. The French Ligue 1 side said Tuesday it signed the 23-year-old Reyna on a five-year deal. The transfer fee was reported to be €3 million ($3.5 million). Reyna played in all five U.S. games at the World Cup, and scored a signature goal to cap the opening 4-1 win against Paraguay. The move brings an end to Reyna's seven-year spell in the Bundesliga. During his time in Germany, he played for Borussia Dortmund and Gladbach. Across six seasons with Borussia Dortmund, Reyna scored 19 goals and provided 18 assists in 147 games in all competitions. He spent a season on loan at Nottingham Forest from 2024 until 2025 but failed to make an impact at the Premier League club. He joined Gladbach in 2025 but endured a difficult period there, managing just one goal and one assist in 20 appearances. He has struggled with injuries throughout his time in Germany. For the USMNT, Reyna has 43 caps and 10 goals. - Mauricio Pochettino signs new deal to remain as USMNT manager - Will lure of Europe threaten fresh Pochettino-USMNT partnership? - USMNT's Berhalter joins Middlesbrough from Vancouver Whitecaps "Gio is an excellent player who unfortunately only showed glimpses of his potential during his year at Borussia and was unable to consistently demonstrate his ability on the pitch due to a number of injuries," Gladbach head of sports Rouven Schröder said. "We wish him all the best and every success in this exciting challenge in France." Strasbourg, which is in a shared ownership group with Chelsea, placed eighth in Ligue 1 last season and did not qualify for any European competition. Reyna will play for new coach Hugo Oliveira, a long-time former assistant to Marco Silva who left Fulham to join Benfica. The nAssociated Press contributed to this report
