Once hailed as a mega talent at Borussia Dortmund, now on the way to Ligue 1: Giovanni Reyna is on the verge of an early departure from the Bundesliga.

Once, every door in the football world seemed open to Giovanni Reyna, but his career has so far not gone as hoped. Is he now turning his back on Germany for good?
Gio Reyna is reportedly in talks for a move to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg as the U.S. Men's National Team star looks set to leave Borussia Monchengladbach after just one season. Reyna was recently a member of the USMNT's World Cup squad but, despite an impressive performance at this summer's tournament, it appears the midfielder will be on the move before the start of the new season.
Gio Reyna has been told that the “sky’s the limit” when it comes to his potential, but the USMNT star faces familiar words of advice while trying to fully unlock that ability.
