In June, Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc stated clearly that when Gio Reyna turned 18, the club would sign him to a long-term extension. A week after that day came, Zorc stayed true to his word.
Reyna, one of the U.S. men's national team's rising stars, agreed to a deal with Dortmund through 2025 on Friday. No longer a minor and now allowed to sign a professional contract, Reyna's long-term future has now been sorted.
"I believe that Gio is aware of the development he has taken here. First, in the academy and then under Lucien [Favre, Dortmund manager]," Zorc said over the summer.
