"Gio is a wonderful talent," he said, according to Goal. "He has a lot of promise and a lot of confidence." His talent is comparable to, if not somewhat superior than, that of Christian Pulisic. And, like with Pulisic before him, BVB definitely sees something special in Reyna. They're willing to spend big money to bring him in from America's youth system. Reyna started his career at Santos Laguna before moving to Europe in 2016 when he joined Borussia Dortmund for €5 million ($5.6 million). He made an immediate impact by scoring four goals in as many games during the club's pre-season tour of Asia. The 19-year-old has also been praised for his ability as a forward while playing in the center of the park. Signed through the 2022 season, Reyna is one of several high-profile players who have been added to BVB's roster this summer. He joins fellow Americans Joe Gyau, Alex Meier, and Luca de la Torre as well as Frenchmen Ousmane Dembele, Mouhamadou Dabo, and Yassine Meriah. Borussia Dortmund is known for its rich American history dating back to 1963, when George Matlock signed with the club after graduating from Indiana University. Since then, eight more Americans have followed in Matlock's footsteps by signing with the club.
