A Fresh Start in France
Giovanni Reyna began his professional career with Borussia Dortmund, joining the German club in 2019 after developing in the New York City FC academy. From the beginning, he was viewed as one of the top prospects in American football thanks to his technical ability, creativity, and knack for making an impact in the final third.
However, a series of injuries slowed his development and prevented him from establishing himself as a consistent performer at the highest level. After moving to Borussia Mönchengladbach, the attacking midfielder endured another difficult campaign, making 20 appearances, logging just over 500 minutes, and contributing one goal and one assist.
Now, Reyna will look to revive his career in France, where Strasbourg hopes he can rediscover the form that once made him one of the most exciting young players in European football.
International Experience Comes with Him
Despite his struggles at club level, Giovanni Reyna remains an important member of the United States Men's National Team. The attacking midfielder has earned more than 40 international caps and scored 10 goals for his country.
He was also part of Mauricio Pochettino's squad at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he appeared in five matches and found the net during the United States' emphatic 4-1 victory over Paraguay in the group stage.
With a five-year contract now in place, RC Strasbourg is confident that Giovanni Reyna can finally enjoy the consistency that has eluded him in recent seasons and become a key figure in the club's long-term project. For the American international, the move represents another opportunity to fulfill the immense potential that has surrounded him throughout his career.
