The NYCFC sporting director and former USMNT captain says his talented teenage son will decide where and when he'll launch his career

Claudio Reyna knows all too well the tough decisions that lie ahead for his son, the talented American teenager Gio Reyna, but as much as the former U.S. national team captain and current New York City FC sporting director has plenty of knowledge to share, he believes the final decision on where the 15-year-old NYCFC academy star begins his pro career should rest with the player, not the parent.

Sports Illustrated reported Wednesday that Gio Reyna is considering a move to Europe, with the help of a Portuguese passport he is in the process of trying to secure.
