'Welcome Gio Reyna!' - USMNT star joins Cristiano Ronaldo in signing for Jorge Mendes' Polaris Sports agency as Dortmund exit talk ramps up

Reyna has joined Polaris Sports, a marketing agency founded and run by Cristiano Ronaldo's former super agent, Jorge Mendes. The company - which describes itself as the 'leading company in athlete image rights representation - has stars including Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao on its books.

Reyna has fallen out of favour in Dortmund, and has started just two games in all competitions this season. Though he did begin the campaign with an injury, the 21-year-old has not been able to win back a place in Edin Terzic's side since returning to action in September. The return of Jadon Sancho from Manchester United is unlikely to aid his cause either. If he wants to make the USMNT squad for the Copa America this summer, he may have to move clubs to secure regular minutes before the end of the January transfer window. European sides including Sevilla and Marseille are rumoured to be interested in the attacker.

A week before joining Mendes' sports marketing agency, Reyna took the super agent on as his representative after ditching the Wasserman agency. Reyna's father, former USMNT midfielder Claudio Reyna, reportedly helped negotiate the switch of agents.

Reyna and his new agent will need to work quickly if the youngster is to secure a move away from Dortmund before the end of the transfer window. If that doesn't happen, then he'll have to force his way into the side or face the prospect of missing this summer's Copa America. Next up for Dortmund is a trip to Koln in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
