News: Gio Reyna, Thomas Müller, Ajax Amsterdam

BVB has fought for hardly any other player in recent years as much as it has for Gio Reyna. When the 16-year-old arrived at Dortmund's youth academy in 2019, Lars Ricken believed he had landed the hottest poster boy in US soccer. But in six years, Reyna never managed to consistently translate his footballing talent onto the pitch. Time and again, his head seemed to wedge his legs together. When he was injured, he cried with a vengeance rarely seen in the Bundesliga. When he scored goals, he wept with joy. He spoke of loneliness and fears, feelings that accompany a person growing up. But which have no place in the bitter world of football. Borussia's management wrapped Reyna in cotton wool, protecting him from criticism like a child. And before each new season, there was renewed hope that he would finally shake all the grief from his delicate right foot. Three years ago, Gio Reyna was worth €42 million. Earlier this week, he transferred to Borussia Mönchengladbach for €7 million. Although only 22 years old, this may be his last chance to gain a foothold in the Bundesliga. In the first photos in his Gladbach jersey, Reyna is beaming from ear to ear.
