Parma Pursues USMNT Star Giovanni Reyna for Potential Serie A Debut in 2025

Football & Cricket

Italian club Parma is reportedly engaged in direct discussions with German football powerhouse Borussia Dortmund regarding the potential transfer of the highly-rated USMNT talent, Giovanni Reyna. This move could see the attacking midfielder embark on his first adventure in Italy`s top flight.

According to reliable reports from Tuttomercatoweb, the Ducali are optimistic about their chances of convincing Reyna to make the switch to Serie A. The 2025 transfer window seems to be a key period for this potential move.

This is not the first time Reyna has been linked with a prospective transfer to Italy. His club career has already seen him play across multiple top leagues, having had stints in the United States, Germany, and England.

Earlier in January 2025, there were significant rumors suggesting strong interest from AC Milan, with his market valuation at that time reportedly set between €15 million and €18 million.

At just 22 years old, Reyna boasts an impressive international record, having already earned 32 senior caps for the USMNT. During these appearances, he has contributed eight goals and provided five assists for his national team colleagues.

He is known for his versatility in attack, primarily operating as a trequartista, a creative midfielder playing just behind the main striker. However, Reyna is equally capable of being deployed effectively on either the right or left wing, adding tactical flexibility to any squad.

Reyna`s current contract with Borussia Dortmund is scheduled to expire in June 2026. This relatively short remaining contract period could make his transfer fee significantly more appealing and accessible to potential acquiring clubs compared to his past valuations.

Last season, his playing time was somewhat limited, as he made only 26 competitive appearances for Dortmund. He managed to contribute two goals and one assist, with his season notably impacted by a struggle to regain full fitness following a groin injury sustained in September 2024.
