American midfielder Gio Reyna has joined Premier League side Nottingham Forest on loan from Borussia Dortmund, with an option to buy for £15–20 million.

In addition to the loan deal, Nottingham Forest are expected to cover his wages for the next six months.

The American is expected to fly in on January 31, 2024, for his medical.

The 21-year-old is looking forward to rebooting his career, and he sees a move to Nottingham as a means of starting something new.

He hardly played for Borussia Dortmund this season, with just 336 minutes of action in 13 matches without a goal or assist.

Nottingham Forest are expected to be extremely busy in the January transfer window as they are looking forward to staying in the Premier League for the second time since securing promotion.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santos is keen on more additions in different positions.

The manager said, "Since the window opened, we have had things going on. We have to wait and see what happens.”

After being charged with a breach of the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules in January 2024, the team are mindful of making zero net spend.

Due to the breach, Nottingham Forest are likely to sell more players. It was revealed that the club are currently negotiating with Lyon to sell midfielder Orel Mangala.

Scott McKenna is expected to move to Copenhagen on loan. Players like Joe Worrall and Ethan Horvath are in talks with different clubs.

However, the club's main priority in the January transfer window is to sign a new goalkeeper.

Before the transfer window closes on February 1, 2024, Nottingham Forest are likely to send another bid to Crystal Palace in an attempt to sign club second-choice goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
