Gio Reyna #7

Profile

Reyna is descended from soccer royalty, the son of former USMNT captain and World Cup veteran Claudio Reyna. Reyna has sometimes struggled to escape that shadow, though it has nothing to do with his play on the field. During the 2022 World Cup, Reyna’s absence from the USA lineup was attributed to a “lack of commitment” by coach Gregg Berhalter and less than a year later, it was revealed that his mother had privately informed US Soccer during the tournament about damaging information regarding Berhalter’s past. The entire series of events has hung over Reyna’s national team career, and poor form and fitness at Mönchengladbach haven’t helped his case recently. A hugely talented player, he remains as polarizing as ever.
