The United States international had <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-gio-reyna-backed-signing-of-january-transfer-window-nottingham-forest-same-category-jude-bellingham-erling-haaland/blt22ff0df92ea02906" target="_blank">several destinations to mull over during the winter transfer window </a>when an exit door swung open at Borussia Dortmund. After being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-how-nottingham-forest-beat-fiorentina-gio-reyna-loan-transfer-usmnt-star-premier-league-challenge-serie-a/blt01362c85c2dfdc0c" target="_blank">linked with teams in Spain and Italy</a>, the 21-year-old playmaker opted to head for England.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There were high hopes for Reyna at the City Ground, but he found himself thrust into a relegation battle. With <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-gio-reyna-wrong-transfer-decision-premier-league-relegation-battle-nottingham-forest/blt5a7a8be02e907765" target="_blank">Forest unable to take any risks</a>, with a top-flight standing on the line, faith was shown in proven performers such as Morgan Gibbs-White, Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

That left <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/stop-making-excuses-gio-usmnt-star-reyna-warning-americans-bend-over-backwards-nottingham-forest-loan/blt4f2eed8f8170504a" target="_blank">Reyna kicking his heels on the sidelines for long periods</a>, with only two Premier League starts enjoyed – and 10 appearances in total across all competitions. Forest have said in a statement on the club’s <a href="https://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/news/2024/may/21/trio-to-depart-the-city-ground/" target="_blank">official website</a> when announcing who will be leaving Trentside this summer: “The club can confirm that Gio Reyna, Divock Origi, Nuno Tavares, Gonzalo Montiel and Rodrigo Ribeiro have reached the end of their loan spells. Nottingham Forest would like to thank each player for their contribution during their time at The City Ground, and wishes them well for the future.”

WHAT FOREST SAID

Dortmund made a point of extending Reyna’s contract before sanctioning his move to Nottingham, meaning that a<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-how-usmnt-gio-reyna-avoided-premier-league-flop-nottingham-forest-transfer-borussia-dortmund/blt955914d8e2e1022b" target="_blank"> slate could be wiped clean in Germany</a>. He has international action at the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-copa-america-2024-squad-gregg-berhalter/bltcf93955aa970423d" target="_blank">Copa America to take in prior to that</a>, with that competition set to put the talented midfielder back in the shop window.
