  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    U.S. men's national team midfielder Gio Reyna has signed with ROOF agency, ending his relationship with Jorge Mendes and his agency Polaris Sports.

    Reyna signed with Mendes in January 2024 ahead of his loan move to Nottingham Forest, ending his time with Wasserman then. Now, though, he's onto his third agent in less than 15 months.

    Mendes rose to fame as the former agent of Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo during his time at Real Madrid.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Reyna's move to Forest which was secured through Mendes was nothing short of a disaster as he averaged fewer minutes in England than he had in Germany that season. The Premier League side and Mendes also had a prior relationship through multiple transfers, which led to questions surrounding if it was a good fit for the American or just another opportunity for Mendes to secure a deal with the club.

    Since, he's managed just three starts in 14 appearances across the Bundesliga in 2024-25, and two starts across six appearances in the UEFA Champions League.

    Now, with a new agent, questions will continue about the midfielder's future.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    ROOF agency also rosters fellow U.S. international Malik Tillman, along with Arsenal star Kai Havertz and Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk.
