Gio Reyna received abundant support as he embarked on a surprising new journey in his career, securing a loan move to Nottingham Forest.
At 21 years old, Reyna finalized a loan agreement with Nuno Espirito Santo’s team until the season’s end, following limited appearances totaling just 280 minutes in the Bundesliga this season due to falling out of favor at Borussia Dortmund.
Nottingham Forest, teetering just two points above the relegation zone and facing a potential points deduction, pins hope on Reyna to ignite their path to safety.
Sharing a photo of his arrival at the quiet City Ground, Reyna expressed his enthusiasm: “So excited to be here! Can’t wait to get started! Let’s gooo.”
Among the quick responders, Pulisic offered motivational words, saying, “Let’s get it bro.” Former Dortmund teammate Bellingham echoed sentiments with a simple “Brother,” accompanied by a heart emoji. Timothy Weah, Matt Miazga, and Folarin Balogun all extended well wishes to their fellow USMNT teammate for the move.
Amidst a subdued winter transfer window, Reyna’s transfer stands out as one of the more intriguing ones. Whether he can find the consistency he seeks at a club known for its ambitious recruitment and substantial player turnover remains uncertain. If Reyna can synergize effectively with the talented Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga, Nottingham Forest might have executed a notable acquisition. However, they retain no obligation to permanently sign the player if the fit is not ideal.
Reyna can draw on advice regarding Premier League life from a familiar source. His father, Claudio, enjoyed six seasons in the English top flight, commencing with Sunderland in 2001. Following a two-year stint with Sunderland, he transitioned to Manchester City before returning to his hometown in New Jersey.
