Giovanni Reyna: FM2021 Wonderkid Review

Reyna is one of the best American wonderkids in Football Manager 2021. He is a very well rounded midfielder who does not have many weaknesses.

In our FM21 save, Reyna has had a mixed bag of a career. He has been nothing short of stellar for Dortmund and is one of the main reasons why the club has fought tooth and nail for silverware with Bayern. This has prompted several big clubs to bid for him and he eventually joined Liverpool in 2024-2025.

Reyna's time at Liverpool was not quite productive as he was relegated to more of a rotational role at the club and he struggled to gain starts. However, once he went on loan and eventually joined Atalanta he has had staggering numbers once again. 

His performances throughout the save have largely been brilliant and his average ratings have also been consistently good. His market value of £50 in 2030 is a testament to how good a player he can become and under a human manager with more first-team opportunities can develop into a beastly performer. 

Considering that Reyna is also available for England, he can be an excellent addition to most FM21 Manager’s squads.
