Giovanni Reyna Expected to Join Racing Strasbourg

A reported €3 million-plus-bonuses fee would cut Borussia Mönchengladbach's wage bill, offering Reyna a chance to restart his career.

Overview

  • Reports on Tuesday say Reyna is moving from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Racing Strasbourg and is in France for a medical that must be passed before the transfer is formalized.
  • French and German outlets report an initial €3 million fee with performance-related add-ons and WAZ says the package could rise toward €4 million plus a 10% sell-on clause.
  • Gladbach paid about €4 million for Reyna last summer, so the club is taking a book loss but prioritized removing his salary and trimming the squad, according to sporting director Rouven Schröder.
  • Reyna made limited contributions at Gladbach — about 20 appearances, roughly 577 minutes and two goal contributions — and coach Eugen Polanski cited repeated muscle injuries and failure to find rhythm as key reasons for the move.
  • Strasbourg reportedly offered Reyna a five-year contract that gives the player a fresh start while the transfer's completion depends on the outcome of the medical and registration steps, which could affect both clubs' plans for the coming season.
